He was a member of the executive board of the Anatomical Society (2014–2019) and has been elected to the review panel for medicine at the “Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG (German Research Foundation) (since 2020). His research covers vascular biology and endothelial barrier function; cardiovascular regeneration; angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, including tumor vascularization, stem and progenitor cell biology; vascular bioprinting; and organoids. He received the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) Award for Vascular Cell Biology and the Konjetzny Award of the “Hamburger Krebsgesellschaft” (Cancer Society of Hamburg) for his research on processes of the structural formation of the vessel wall in angiogenesis and the growth of tumors, among other awards.

Institute for Globally Distributed Open Research and Education (IGDORE), St. Catharines, Canada;Prof. Dr. Jens Coorssen is the joint-EiC for Proteomes. He has served as EiC from 2021 and also serves as a EBM for Biotech. Dr. Coorssen works in the areas of basic, clinical, and translational research. His research focuses on proteomics and lipidomics — the analysis of proteins and lipids, including their distribution, structure, and function. His basic research focus is on exocytosis, which is the process of a cell releasing proteins into the fluid outside the cell. In particular, he examines the how calcium is involved as a trigger. He also studies the related process of membrane fusion, and the specific roles of the molecules involved. Dr. Coorssen also researches stroke and the cardiovascular dysfunctions which contribute to their occurrence.
