ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dr. Visar Vela is a medical diagnostic assistant. His passion for cancer research and diagnostics arose while working on his master’s thesis, when he researched blood cancer in Adrian Ochsenbein’s lab at the University of Bern. During his Ph.D. in biological medicine, he uncovered the mutational landscape of a rare lymphoma type at the Department of pathology in Basel under Stefan Dirnhofer and Alexandar Tzankov. By writing this book, he hopes that the reader will get the best possible information about cancer development and cancer diagnostics.


Besides having a passion for cancer research, Dr. Vela loves jogging, sailing, and cycling. In 2019, he participated in many running and cycling activities and covered 1000 km in each discipline. He grew up in the lovely Swiss Alps, in the Valais. He still has his most creative phases at the airport. He says that airports are great sources of problems that need solving, such as cancer research.
