Cornelius Rosse

Cornelius Rosse is an academic educator and author in the field of anatomy, combined with foundational and applied ontology.[1] He is a Professor Emeritus of the University of Washington School of Medicine.[2]

He is known as the principal investigator of the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) ontology.[3] He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American College of Medical Informatics, and he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2001.[4]

Education and career

His medical career began by having to flee from Budapest as a first-year medical student to avoid persecution for his participation in the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.[5]

Rosse earned his medical degree (M.B., Ch.B.) in 1964 from the University of Bristol.[6] The university later awarded him two additional doctoral degrees: an M.D. in 1974 and a D.Sc. in 1983, in recognition of his research on blood cell formation and the body’s anticancer mechanisms.[5] He completed his postgraduate training at the University of Bristol and went on to join the faculty as a Demonstrator of Anatomy.[7]

In 1965 he joined the Department of Anatomy of the University of Bristol as a junior member of the faculty.[7] Parallel with his teaching, he began to investigate the existence of the hematopoietic stem cell, which at the time was a mere hypothesis.[8]

In 1967 he was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Structure at the University of Washington School of Medicine.[5] He advanced through the academic ranks, serving as Chair of the Department of Biological Structure from 1981 to 1993.[9] In 2000 he relinquished his tenured faculty position and continued his research work as Professor Emeritus.[7]

In the early 1980s, Rosse shifted his research focus from biological bench research to the representation of anatomical knowledge in computer-processable forms.[1]

To support this, Rosse developed the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) ontology, which was curated and expanded by L.V.J. Mejino M.D., the FMA’s senior research scientist.[10]
