Professor Hans H. Goebel did his residency in Anatomic Pathology at the Free University of (West) Berlin. He completed his specialty training at Bellevue Hospital/New York University and then moved to Division of Neuropathology at Indiana University Medical Center in Indianapolis, USA where he acquired specialist knowledge of and develped his interest in lysosomal and neuromuscular disorders. Prof. Goebel returned to Germany in 1973. He was Head of Neuropathology at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and was President of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Neuropathologie und Neuroanatomie and of the European Confederation of Neuropathological Societies. He is a member of the editorial or advisory boards of many peer reviewed specialty journals.
His extensive research interests extend to many areas including neuropathology (degenerative diseases, lysosomal diseases), muscle pathology (enzyme-histochemistry, electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, immunoelectron- microscopy), congenital myopathies, peripheral nerve pathology and retina (ultrastructural pathology in neurodegenerative disorders). Following his official retirement in 2005, he has been a travelling consultant in myopathology at various neuromuscular centres in Germany and abroad.
