Tischler received an undergraduate degree in biology from Boston University, a master degree in chemistry from the University of South Carolina, and his doctorate degree in biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. After serving in a postdoctoral position in physiology at Harvard Medical School, he joined the faculty at the University of Arizona in 1979 where he is currently a professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics holding joint appointments in physiology and in internal medicine. Having served as coordinator of the medical biochemistry course for a decade, he was recruited to play a major role in the development of the revised medical curriculum at the University of Arizona, which debuted in 2006 and offers an integrated, organ-based approach akin to the second half of this textbook. In that new curriculum, he designed and serves as director of the medical block entitled Digestion, Metabolism, and Hormones. He has taught more than 3000 medical students during his tenure in Arizona.
