AB Marc  E.  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.
