Message From The Dean

DEAR ALUMNI, FRIENDS, AND COLLEAGUES,

Our cover story celebrates the exceptional career of Professor of Medicine Bob Witzburg, MD, who will retire at the end of this academic year after teaching and providing patient care for 45 years and serving as associate dean of admissions for 15.

We will miss him, but the more than 2,500 physicians admitted under his leadership and the students and residents whom he taught over the decades will be his legacy.

We are all thankful for the many contributions Bob made in the various roles in which he served on the Medical Campus over the years, and hope that many of you will join us for our inaugural Black Ties for White Coats Scholarship Gala on April 5 in honor of his career. All contributions will benefit student scholarships. More information will follow on the event, so please save the date.

The Division of Graduate Medical Sciences bestowed its first Distinguished Alumni Awards this year when Erika Ebbel Angle, PhD, and Steven Perrin, PhD, were honored for their outstanding contributions to the biomedical sciences.

The school also has important pipeline programs for high school and college students featured in this issue. Last summer, BUSM collaborated with the Boston Area Health Education Center’s Youth to Health Careers Summer Enrichment Program, which provided 80 Boston high school students with academic support, college preparation, and internships to help them pursue careers in medicine, health sciences, dentistry, and public health. The Summer Program in Neuroscience (SPIN) offered high-achieving undergraduates

from across the country a head start in neuroscience.

Several of our centers received major renewed grant funding.

Our Black Women’s Health Study received a five-year, $13.7 million grant from the National Cancer Institute and our Alzheimer’s Disease Center a threeyear, $5.4 million award renewal from the National Institutes of Health to continue their respective work.

We also highlight a $392,000 grant from the Macy Foundation toward improving medical student curriculum to enhance refugee health.

Our Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) received the 2017 Sharing Research Resources Award from the Association of American Medical Colleges, which recognizes successful models for sharing biomedical research resources. In addition, CReM’s Gustavo Mostoslavsky was named BU’s Innovator of the Year for developing a process that facilitates stem cell production.

This issue also highlights our faculty, staff, alumni, and friends—as well as foundations and corporations—who have supported our work on the front lines of medicine. The Shipley Prostate Cancer Research Center launched its new website, which we hope will become the go-to consumer resource for prostate health and support. The center itself was funded by a very generous $10 million gift from BU Trustee Richard Shipley.

We also introduce Drs. Shirley Klein (MED’68), Lou Sullivan (MED’58), and Richard Catrambone (MED’92), who have funded substantial scholarships to help reduce student debt.

We greatly appreciate your contributions, highlighted in the donor report, that demonstrate your commitment to making Boston University School of Medicine the best place to learn, teach, and discover.

On behalf of our students, faculty, and administration, thank you for your generous support.

Happy New Year and Best Regards,

Karen Antman, MD

Started by O’Connell in 1985, BHCHP now serves more than 12,000 homeless people annually through two hospital-based clinics and more than 60 shelters and outreach sites in Boston.

“Medicine is all about the relationships you have with the people you are taking care of and the relationships you have with your colleagues,” O’Connell said. “As you put on your white coat I hope you’ll see it as a sacred symbol of both humility and learning and searching. We are in the business of taking care of people but we have to learn and search and be kind and be humble.

“Be sure you take the time to listen to the people you are trying to care for. Don’t lose your sense of wonder, because once you lose your sense of wonder, the white coat will

Teamwork, Harmony, and Remembering to Take It “One Patient at a Time” On Thursday, August 17, Boston University School of Medicine conferred 32 students with Master of Science degrees, the School’s second class of Physician Assistants. “Today we celebrate personal growth and accomplishment,” said founding Program Director Mary L. Warner, MMSc, PA-C, who opened commencement exercises in the 670 Albany Street auditorium.

The Class of 2017 joined the 115,000 practicing physician assistants across the United States.

A brass quartet’s rendition of “Pomp and Circumstance” signaled the degree candidates to process in among 150 family and friends in attendance. Connor Verbruggen, degree candidate and president of the Carl Toney Society, introduced commencement speaker Michael Milner, DHSc, DHL, PA-C, DFAAPA. Milner, a retired rear admiral and Assistant Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, has been a practicing PA for more than 20 years and was appointed to many leadership roles within the profession, including Regional Senior Health Administrator, the senior-ranking public health officer in the northeast.

Milner emphasized teamwork throughout his remarks. “We’re part of an interprofessional team. Take the opportunity to be a

part of that bigger team. Volunteer when you can, because it can help you grow as an individual.” He also reminded the class, “It is a helping and a healing profession but it is still one patient at a time,” and reflected on his experience in the health service working with Native Americans: “You have to have harmony between what your head’s thinking, what your heart’s thinking, and what your mouth is saying…and if you don’t have that,

you have disease, distress, and anxiety. Work toward that harmony.”

For students, the ceremony marks the end of a two-and-a-half-year journey through an intensive course of study, including an integrated pathophysiology and pharmacology course alongside second-year medical students. Praising his classmates as his major source of support and motivation, Ryan Fox of Colorado (who plans to pursue a career in orthopedics) said he was especially proud of making it through the first semester. “We start things off very quickly, getting thrown into the flames. There’s a lot of catching up to do to get on the same pace as the medical students, so getting through that first semester was a very rewarding time.”

In addition to classroom work, students also complete 14 months of clinical rotations as well as a thesis project. “Developing relationships with classmates and sharing funny stories both at work and outside of work was definitely my favorite experience,” Kelsey Mazur reflected. “Being in rotations with other PAs from different schools, I feel like we were very well prepared. A unique thing about the BU program is being with the medical students during our first year. It was great to be with our fellow physicians who will be working with us in practice in several years.”

BU Alzheimer’s Disease Center Wins $5.4 Million NIH Grant Renewal Will fund research on early diagnostics, genetic risk factors, interventions

BY SARA RIMER

T

he National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has awarded Boston University’s Alzheimer’s Disease Center a three-year, $5.4 million grant to continue its research into interventions that will reduce the human and economic costs of Alzheimer’s disease and its related conditions, which includes chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Dozens of researchers at the Alzheimer’s Disease Center (ADC) are running clinical trials that may lead to treatments and a cure for the disease. They are looking for tests that could lead to early diagnosis and interventions to prevent or delay the disease, working to understand genetic risk factors, and studying the effect of the disease on caregivers. The center recently identified two genes responsible for Alzheimer’s disease in African Americans. Located on the BU Medical Campus and at the VA Boston Healthcare System in Massachusetts, the ADC is one of 32 NIH-funded Alzheimer’s centers in the United States.

The NIH’s support “has helped our researchers and clinicians undertake and further their research and educational mission by taking crucial steps forward to combat this disease,” says ADC director Neil Kowall, a School of Medicine professor of neurology and pathology. Kowall is also chief of neurology at the VA Boston Healthcare System.

Alzheimer’s is a progressive and ultimately fatal disease that attacks brain cells, causing memory loss, behavioral changes, confusion, and severe deterioration of language skills. Associated with advancing age, the disease afflicts more than 5 million Americans 65 and older, and the National Institute on Aging projects that number could reach 16 million by 2050 unless effective interventions are found.

and related disorders, as well as to encourage people to participate in research.

The latest NIH funding is a renewal of a research grant it has been awarding to the ADC since it was established in 1996, says Budson, ADC associate director of research and VA Boston associate chief of staff for education. In addition to research on Alzheimer’s disease, NIH funding to BU has made possible the center’s research into chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which has led to discoveries on repetitive brain trauma in athletes and military personnel.

“

This is a disease that affects people from all walks of life, every race, both genders. It doesn’t matter what your socioeconomic status is, or how much or how little money you have.

It affects everyone.

”

— david greer, MD, BUSM PROFESSOR AND CHAIR OF NEUROLOGY AND BMC CHIEF OF NEUROLOGY

Andrew Budson is part of the Alzheimer’s Disease Center’s National Institutes of Health–funded efforts to help clinicians and the public better understand the disease and related disorders, and encourage people to participate in research.

Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia are projected to cost the nation $259 billion this year and the figure could reach $1.1 trillion by 2050, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

The NIH grant, and the research it enables through the ADC, “is extremely important from a public health standpoint,” says David Greer, a MED professor and chair of the neurology department, which includes the ADC. “This is a disease that affects people from all walks of life, every race, both genders. It doesn’t matter what your socioeconomic status is, or how much or how little money you have. It affects everyone.” Research, says Greer, is crucial for “improving the quality of life for people

with the disease, and, hopefully, developing some type of cure or treatment.”

Greer lists some of the many questions around potential treatment that researchers at the ADC and other centers around the country are pursuing: “What are the targets? Where should we be looking? Are there vaccines that can be further developed? Are there certain enzyme inhibitors that can be tried? Are there vitamins that can be used? What are the underpinnings of the syndrome?”

As director of the ADC’s Education Core, Andrew Budson, also a MED professor of neurology, leads the center’s NIH-funded efforts to educate both clinicians and the public in better understanding the disease

“These centers across the United States are here to facilitate research in Alzheimer’s both in collaborating in big, national initiatives,” he says, “and in helping local investigators to conduct their own innovative research projects.”

Budson, for example, is working on interventions that won’t prevent, cure, or slow the disease progression, but will nonetheless improve the lives of patients and their families. “Our work has shown that individuals with mild cognitive impairment can use different strategies to improve their memory—strategies that can be applied to their day-to-day lives,” says Budson. The goal of this work, he adds, is to allow people to stay at home and remain independent as long as possible.

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the only one among the top 10 without a way to prevent, slow, or stop its progression, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. n

Faculty, staff, current students, and alumni gathered in Hiebert Lounge for afternoon and evening celebrations in honor of two graduates who have made outstanding contributions to the fields of medicine and science. Sponsored by BU’s BEST Program, the events also allowed current students to network with alumni and faculty.

Associate Provost Lynda Hyman, PhD, is eager to hear from more of the division’s nearly 1,200 alumni. “We are delighted to learn from our alumni and are always looking to recognize their accomplishments,” she said.

This year’s Distinguished Alumni are Erika Ebbel Angle, PhD, and Steven Perrin, PhD. A 2012 graduate of the Department of Biochemistry, Angle founded and is executive director of Science from Scientists, an organization that teaches and inspires the next generation to identify and solve real-world problems by improving STEM literacy. Angle also co-founded and is CEO of Ixcela, a health and wellness company that helps individuals improve their internal well-being.

Angle was introduced by her BUSM mentor, Catherine Costello, MS, PhD, and told a series of stories about her life experiences, from her days of volunteering at the VA as Miss Massachusetts to the beginning stages of starting her own company. She advised students to keep their minds open, think outside the box, and recognize the importance of serendipity.

A 1995 graduate of the Department of Biochemistry and the CEO and CSO of the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) in Cambridge, Perrin serves on the Advisory Council for the NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Theo Hatzipetros (MED’07), a senior scientist at ALS TDI, nominated Perrin for the award.

He advised students, “Be creative and take chances. There are no boundaries,” and stressed that graduates have to wear multiple hats (especially at smaller or medium-size firms) and must stay on the cutting edge of science and medicine to help prevent diseases. He also shared some of the complexities of endeavoring to cure ALS. n Winter 2018 | bumc.bu.edu

BU Alzheimer’s Disease Center Wins $5.4 Million NIH Grant Renewal Will fund research on early diagnostics, genetic risk factors, interventions

BY SARA RIMER

T

he National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has awarded Boston University’s Alzheimer’s Disease Center a three-year, $5.4 million grant to continue its research into interventions that will reduce the human and economic costs of Alzheimer’s disease and its related conditions, which includes chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Dozens of researchers at the Alzheimer’s Disease Center (ADC) are running clinical trials that may lead to treatments and a cure for the disease. They are looking for tests that could lead to early diagnosis and interventions to prevent or delay the disease, working to understand genetic risk factors, and studying the effect of the disease on caregivers. The center recently identified two genes responsible for Alzheimer’s disease in African Americans. Located on the BU Medical Campus and at the VA Boston Healthcare System in Massachusetts, the ADC is one of 32 NIH-funded Alzheimer’s centers in the United States.

The NIH’s support “has helped our researchers and clinicians undertake and further their research and educational mission by taking crucial steps forward to combat this disease,” says ADC director Neil Kowall, a School of Medicine professor of neurology and pathology. Kowall is also chief of neurology at the VA Boston Healthcare System.

Alzheimer’s is a progressive and ultimately fatal disease that attacks brain cells, causing memory loss, behavioral changes, confusion, and severe deterioration of language skills. Associated with advancing age, the disease afflicts more than 5 million Americans 65 and older, and the National Institute on Aging projects that number could reach 16 million by 2050 unless effective interventions are found.

and related disorders, as well as to encourage people to participate in research.

The latest NIH funding is a renewal of a research grant it has been awarding to the ADC since it was established in 1996, says Budson, ADC associate director of research and VA Boston associate chief of staff for education. In addition to research on Alzheimer’s disease, NIH funding to BU has made possible the center’s research into chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which has led to discoveries on repetitive brain trauma in athletes and military personnel.

“

This is a disease that affects people from all walks of life, every race, both genders. It doesn’t matter what your socioeconomic status is, or how much or how little money you have.

It affects everyone.

”

— david greer, MD, BUSM PROFESSOR AND CHAIR OF NEUROLOGY AND BMC CHIEF OF NEUROLOGY

Andrew Budson is part of the Alzheimer’s Disease Center’s National Institutes of Health–funded efforts to help clinicians and the public better understand the disease and related disorders, and encourage people to participate in research.

Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia are projected to cost the nation $259 billion this year and the figure could reach $1.1 trillion by 2050, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

The NIH grant, and the research it enables through the ADC, “is extremely important from a public health standpoint,” says David Greer, a MED professor and chair of the neurology department, which includes the ADC. “This is a disease that affects people from all walks of life, every race, both genders. It doesn’t matter what your socioeconomic status is, or how much or how little money you have. It affects everyone.” Research, says Greer, is crucial for “improving the quality of life for people

with the disease, and, hopefully, developing some type of cure or treatment.”

Greer lists some of the many questions around potential treatment that researchers at the ADC and other centers around the country are pursuing: “What are the targets? Where should we be looking? Are there vaccines that can be further developed? Are there certain enzyme inhibitors that can be tried? Are there vitamins that can be used? What are the underpinnings of the syndrome?”

As director of the ADC’s Education Core, Andrew Budson, also a MED professor of neurology, leads the center’s NIH-funded efforts to educate both clinicians and the public in better understanding the disease

“These centers across the United States are here to facilitate research in Alzheimer’s both in collaborating in big, national initiatives,” he says, “and in helping local investigators to conduct their own innovative research projects.”

Budson, for example, is working on interventions that won’t prevent, cure, or slow the disease progression, but will nonetheless improve the lives of patients and their families. “Our work has shown that individuals with mild cognitive impairment can use different strategies to improve their memory—strategies that can be applied to their day-to-day lives,” says Budson. The goal of this work, he adds, is to allow people to stay at home and remain independent as long as possible.

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the only one among the top 10 without a way to prevent, slow, or stop its progression, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. n

Neuroscience Program Gives Undergrads Experience, Insight

BUSM Gives High Schoolers a Jump on Health Careers

Integrates research, hands-on neuroanatomy, and neurosurgery

BY JOEL BROWN

Enrichment program offers Boston’s underrepresented minorities internships and more

BY JOEL BROWN From their looks of cheerful expectation, you might think the eight undergraduates gathered around a U-shaped table in the BU School of Medicine anatomy lab are waiting to see a movie or a band. Except the next thing they do is don lab aprons, gloves, and safety glasses.

Then neuroanatomy instructor Joseph Goodliffe, a BUSM postdoctoral researcher, brings out the brains.

“Try to identify some of those structures we were discussing in class earlier,” says Goodliffe (MED’16) as he lifts several white plastic buckets onto the table.

Inside, floating in a preservative solution, are cadaver brains that have been donated to the anatomy lab, most of them already cut in half along the median, providing a nice clear cross section for the students searching out structures such as the corpus callosum, hypothalamus, and caudate. The students speak with a mix of awe and seriousness, but no one seems intimidated. It’s not their first time, after all.

“That one still has the spinal cord attached,” one says, nodding toward a nearby bucket.

“That’s pretty intense.”

Welcome to the new Summer Program in Neuroscience (SPIN), which gives highachieving undergraduates from colleges and universities around the country a head start in the subject, offering experiences that they wouldn’t normally get until grad school.

“They’re a joy to work with. They’re really, really interested in learning,” says James Holsapple, associate professor and chair of neurosurgery and an associate professor of pediatrics, who began the program last year.

Holsapple aimed SPIN at undergrads who are studying neuroscience or who are on a premed track, and at biology and computer science students. “There’s a lot of crossover between neuroscience and computer science now,” he says, from computational neuroscience to artificial intelligence.

The program has three components: • Lab: The students are assigned to a neuroscience lab, where they assist in ongoing research, from benchwork to behavioral experiments to numerical simulations.

• Didactic: Students attend rounds and participate in subsequent sessions where the whole neurosurgery department meets to review cases, hear lectures from staff, and ask questions. They also have their own neuroanatomy class with Goodliffe, “so they get a taste of what medical school looks like,” Holsapple says.

• Clinical: Students see patients with Holsapple in clinical settings, and they observe neurosurgery right in the operating room.

“They’re wearing scrubs, roaming the hospital with us, and watching surgery being done,” he says.

There were more than 100 applications for eight slots, the small number constrained by the need to find a lab mentor for each student and to fit them all into clinical and operating rooms.

Holsapple says SPIN benefits BUSM as well as the students. “As far as we know, this is the only program of its type,” he says. “It brings attention to BU as being innovative in the educational space, and it brings great students from all over the country to work in BU labs. It’s a good recruitment tool.”

Some SPIN students have already expressed interest in returning to BU for graduate studies or for medical school. And the program’s informal lunch speakers have included faculty offering advice about the medical school application process.

As Holsapple sees it, the neuroscience program could be just a beginning. “The SPIN framework could be adapted to other clinical specialties. You could do the summer program in nephrology, the summer program in psychiatry, the summer program in internal medicine.”

At the beginning of the eight weeks, he gave each student a blank lab notebook and told them they should write down anything they see or hear that they don’t understand. During the Tuesday morning didactic sessions with staff, time is always set aside for them to ask questions about those things.

“That inculcates a culture of inquiry and openness about questions,” Holsapple says, “of not being embarrassed to admit you don’t know something, which is the first step to knowing something.” n

lthough he is more cheerful and less intimidating, Donald DeRosa invokes the curmudgeonly TV doctor Gregory House to challenge the high school students facing him in a School of Medicine classroom on a recent afternoon.

Like House, “We’re going to give you a medical mystery and ask you to solve it,” says DeRosa (SED’91,’01), a School of Education clinical associate professor of curriculum and teaching, BUSM research assistant professor, and director of CityLab, a biotechnology learning laboratory housed at BUSM. “What’s the mechanism of the disease— what’s going on inside that person’s body?”

He shows them a video of an actual patient talking about her unpredictable, all-over body pain and how it interferes with her life. The students are quick to suggest diagnoses: “migraines” doesn’t quite work, but DeRosa nods at “a nerve disease” or “a circulatory disease.”

He asks, “Do you have enough information to answer this question?”

The students’ answer: “No.” The students, all Boston residents, attend schools throughout the area and are enrolled in the Youth to Health Careers (Y2HC) Summer Enrichment Program, administered by the Boston Public Health Commission’s Boston Area Health Education Center (BAHEC). The mission of the Y2HC program is to increase diversity among the city’s healthcare workforce by helping youth from underserved populations pursue careers in health and public health.

The intensive six-week program provides more than 80 students with academic enrichment, college preparation, and internships, with help from healthcare partners around Boston, among them BUSM, Boston Medical Center, the BU School of Public Health, the Tufts University School of Dentistry, the Harvard School of Public Health, and Boston Children’s Hospital.

The school has long offered the use of its facilities for the program, so when BAHEC administrators approached Dean Karen Antman earlier this year seeking a closer partnership, the response was overwhelmingly positive. BUSM provided not only classrooms and labs, faculty, and internships, but also created educational programs.

“It was an incredible collaborative effort across the Charles River and Medical Campuses, including the hospital,” says Hee-Young Park, professor and chair of medical sciences and education and assistant dean of the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences, who chaired a committee to shape the new program. “Faculty, staff, students, and clinicians donated their time to make this happen within the course of a month. Everyone was so committed to providing educational oppor-

tunities in health sciences for these students. Not a single person I approached said no.”

Back to the medical mystery After DeRosa finishes showing the video to his Y2HC students, they set to work in teams. They quickly identify the anomalies in images of the patient’s blood—fewer red blood cells than a normal image, many of them shaped abnormally, like crescent moons. And the patient’s family tree, with those who had the same illness marked, suggests a recessive genetic disorder. One student thinks it’s sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder that disproportionately affects African Americans.

“But there is a difference between the facts and an inference,” DeRosa cautions. An experiment is necessary to confirm the diagnosis: two sets of (simulated) hemoglobin samples are subjected to an electrical charge; the one with sickle cell will move more quickly toward the charge. The students have to measure precise amounts of hemoglobin as well as make the gelatin for the “racetrack” the samples will run. As the students don lab coats and safety glasses a lot of selfies are snapped, but they quickly turn serious as they launch the experiment. When it’s over, sickle cell has been confirmed. “We saved him,” one student hoots, and there are high fives all around.

“Our school is all focused on academics in math and science; it’s all about books, not the experience you’re getting,” says Mahogany Black, a rising senior at Boston Latin School. “They have labs, but definitely not like this.”

The Y2HC students tend to be highly motivated classroom achievers. They spend their mornings delving into math and science and labs in topics like brain anatomy and dissection. Afternoons are for electives, tours, and demonstrations at such places as the College of Engineering’s Engineering Product Innovation Center (EPIC) and the Photonics Center on the Charles River Campus. College prep is also on the syllabus. In addition, the students have internships across the Medical Campus.

Some students enter the program already interested in public health or health-system careers, while others are just learning what’s out there, says Anthony Crosson, BAHEC director. The goal is that by the time they’ve completed the program, students have gained the knowledge and confidence to pursue these careers. n Winter 2018 | bumc.bu.edu

CReM Honored for Sharing Stem Cell Lines Team wins award from Association of American Medical Colleges

BY BARBARA MORAN

arrell Kotton, Gustavo Mostoslavsky, and George Murphy began the Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) in 2008 with a mission. It was not to win a Nobel Prize, launch more spin-offs than their peers, or make megabucks and retire at 35. Rather, their mantra was both humbler and grander: “decrease the burden of human suffering on the planet, help patients, and advance new knowledge.”

Since then, the lab has made a name for itself not only through its top-notch research on stem cells and lung disease but also because of its willingness to share the resources they create—for free, to anyone.

CReM’s philosophy of openness challenges the cutthroat, hypersecret culture that dominates many other life science labs. And now the lab’s commitment to open-source biology, as it is known, has earned it the 2017 Sharing Research Resources Award from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), established “to recognize successful models for sharing biomedical research resources.”

“There was a lot of skepticism at first that this plan could succeed,” says Kotton, director of CReM, who says his team is “humbled and honored” to receive the award. “But sharing reagents and expertise, without expectation of return, creates a culture of openness that has proven very successful for us.”

“We are very proud that CReM has been recognized both for the quality of their research and for setting a shining example of how science can advance through information sharing,” says Robert A. Brown, president of BU. CReM scientists work with induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs, which were discovered by Shinya Yamanaka in 2006.

Yamanaka figured out how to take an adult human cell and reprogram it into a stem cell with the ability—theoretically—to grow into any organ. CReM researchers created an 10

Since then, the lab has made a name for itself not only through its top-notch research on stem cells and lung disease but also because of its willingness to share the resources they create—for free, to anyone.

CReM’s philosophy of openness challenges the cutthroat, hypersecret culture that dominates many other life science labs. And now the lab’s commitment to open-source biology, as it is known, has earned it the 2017 Sharing Research Resources Award from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), established “to recognize successful models for sharing biomedical research resources.”

“There was a lot of skepticism at first that this plan could succeed,” says Kotton, director of CReM, who says his team is “humbled and honored” to receive the award. “But sharing reagents and expertise, without expectation of return, creates a culture of openness that has proven very successful for us.”

“We are very proud that CReM has been recognized both for the quality of their research and for setting a shining example of how science can advance through information sharing,” says Robert A. Brown, president of BU. CReM scientists work with induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs, which were discovered by Shinya Yamanaka in 2006.

Yamanaka figured out how to take an adult human cell and reprogram it into a stem cell with the ability—theoretically—to grow into any organ. CReM researchers created an 10

efficient technique for reprogramming adult human blood and skin cells into iPSCs, and in 2009 they began sharing their technology, and the resulting cell lines, free of charge with the research community. By 2010, the CReM investigators, whose work is funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, and others, had published a large number of patient-specific iPSC lines, including the first 100 distinctive to lung disease.

CReM’s sharing of unpublished stem cell lines has broadly impacted the lung research community, resulting in collaborations and publications with groups formerly consid-

ered CReM competitors, and CReM recently became sole iPSC repository for the 7,000 participants of the long-running Framingham Heart Study, the nation’s longest-running epidemiological study, which began in 1948 and has been run by BU since 1971, with support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Kotton says that the award acknowledges not only the work of CReM, but of all the other labs and institutions that have joined in this venture into scientific sharing. “Just the fact that an award like this exists,” he says, “shows that this way of doing research has value.” n

oped induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), adult cells that behaved like embryonic stem cells and had an amazing ability to develop into muscles, skin, nerves, and almost any other cell type. Two years later, a second breakthrough, this one by Gustavo Mostoslavsky, a School of Medicine associate professor of gastroenterology, produced a tool that made it simpler and more efficient to generate iPSCs. BU patented his tool,

called STEMCCA, and he says that it’s been adopted by more than 700 laboratories worldwide for making iPSCs. That contribution to the field has earned Mostoslavsky this year’s University Innovator of the Year Award. The Technology Development office presents the award to a faculty member whose research yields inventions or innovations benefiting society. Mostoslavsky received the award in July at BU’s annual Tech, Drugs, and Rock ’n’ Roll networking event connecting BU researchers and Boston entrepreneurs.

“I was humbly surprised and happy,” he says, when Gloria Waters, vice president and associate provost for research, emailed him the news. “Sometimes it is easy to lose perspective when we get busy on the many tasks of running a lab—grant writing, mentoring, budget, and so forth—so I guess it is nice, once in a while, to just stop and enjoy the moment, enjoy what we have done so far, and even better, if on the way we have helped many others succeed.”

One way Mostoslavsky has helped others succeed—the way that makes him most proud, he says—is to have cofounded, in 2008, BU’s Center for Regenerative Medicine, which he codirects. The center, which pursues stem cell research with an emphasis on lung, blood, and gastrointestinal tract diseases, practices open-source biology: sharing its discoveries with scientists around the world for free rather than patenting them. In 2013, CReM moved into its own physical quarters on Albany Street on the Medical Campus.

“I am delighted to see Dr. Mostoslavsky’s colleagues choose him for this award,” says Waters. “STEMCCA has dramatically improved the efficiency with which new stem cells can be generated to treat disease. His success in patenting a tool that has become industry-standard, at the same time as he and the codirectors of the CReM have become renowned for their open-source biology, serves as a model to students and other researchers of how to advance science through sharing, at the same time protecting important intellectual property.” n

Appointments and Honors Gregory A. Grillone, MD, FACS, has been named the M. Stuart Strong and Charles W. Vaughan Professor and chair of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at BU School of Medicine and chief of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at Boston Medical Center. Dr. Kenneth Grundfast, chair for the last 17 years, announced his plans to retire last year upon a successor being named.

Currently professor and vice chair of the department, Dr. Grillone joined the BUMC community as a resident in 1988. An accomplished leader, highly skilled clinician, and mentor to many medical students, residents, and fellows, he has served in a variety of roles for BMC, including interim chief medical officer, board of trustees member, associate chief medical officer, president of the medical-dental staff, and graduate medical education committee chair.

As vice chair since 1999, he has helped build the department into a thriving practice with 12 full-time clinical faculty members, several PhD research faculty members, and robust audiology and speech-language pathology services. He served as the residency program director for 17 years and helped establish it as one of the best otolaryngology training programs in the eastern US. During his tenure as director, he expanded the program from 10 to 15 residents; its current complement includes eight women and one underrepresented minority.

Dr. Grillone received his bachelor’s degree in biology from New York University and his MD from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He completed his residency in otolaryngologyhead and neck surgery at the Boston University-Tufts University Combined Residency Program.

His research interests include the use of spectroscopy for the early detection of dysplasia and squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity and larynx, and the study of dietary and lifestyle risk factors in the development of squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.

His clinical interests include the development of minihole laryngoplasty for vocal fold augmentation and the use of robotic instruments in microlaryngeal surgery.

He has authored more than 85 publications, reviews, proceedings, and abstracts, lectured worldwide, and received numerous honors and awards, including the 2016 Edmund Prince Fowler Award from the Triological Society for the most outstanding research thesis; the BUSM Charles W. Vaughan Excellence in Teaching Award (2015 and 2006); the Distinguished Service Award from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (2014); and the Triological Society’s Vice-Presidential Citation (2011). Dr. Grillone has also been named one of America’s Top Doctors and Best Doctors in America every year since 2005, and one of Boston’s Top Docs since 2006. n Kristen H.

COVER STORY | DR. ROBERT WITZBURG

After graduating from BUSM in 1977, Witzburg completed his residency and chief residency in medicine at Boston City Hospital, then served as training program director and associate chief of medicine at Boston City Hospital for 12 years and as associate chief medical officer at Boston Medical Center (BMC). He was the first medical director of the Boston Medical Center HealthNet Plan, and first chief of the section of community medicine at BMC and BUSM. He was also a founder, president, and medical director of the Neighborhood Health Plan, a community health center–based HMO that enhances the quality and scope of healthcare services for vulnerable populations.

Recalls Ravin Davidoff, MBBCh, BUSM professor of medicine and BMC senior vice president of medical affairs and chief medical officer, “One of my first memories at Boston City Hospital in 1981 was Bob Witzburg. He had just completed his chief resident year and was a clinical giant. He epitomized what we all wanted to be: a great clinician, a superb teacher, and a skilled administrator with a

tion of applicants for medical school.

His role directing residency training led him to join the admissions process at BUSM. “Recruiting for the Department of Medicine while also interviewing applicants for the medical school highlighted the difference between the two,” he reflects.

“Out of that contrast, I got more and more interested in catching people earlier in their medical careers, where some of the work I wanted to do might have a greater impact.”

A leader in medical school admissions transitioning to holistic review in order to enhance the diversity of the physician workforce, he established BUSM as a model program. Along with the Medical Campus information technology team, he created the Admissions Information Management System (AIMS) to manage applicant data and support holistic review.

“We learn every day how to more effectively evaluate applicants and to choose those who will challenge our assumptions, who will thrive and prosper here, and who will look back on their time at BU and say that was a good choice for me,” he says.

“We have much to be thankful to Bob for, including his many contributions in the various roles he has served in during his extraordinary career on our Medical Campus,” Aram Chobanian, MD, BU president emeritus and BUSM dean emeritus, says. “He has always been committed to and passionate about improving the care of the underserved. He played a major role at Boston City Hospital and associated community health centers in developing clinical programs for AIDS patients during that epidemic and for founding and leading the innovative Neighborhood Health Plan for insuring the poor.

“He has excelled as an educator and role model, both in leading the residency training programs in the Department of Medicine and in teaching our medical students, as evidenced by the many teaching awards he has obtained. Bob has been an outstanding dean of admissions since I first appointed him and brought many innovations to the selection of students, which have contributed to the quality of a whole generation of students coming through the school.”

“Bob sees the potential in applicants; he has a very good eye,” says Angela Jackson, MD, professor of medicine and associate dean for student affairs. “I get to work with and participate in the fruits of his judgment in my role in student affairs.”

Dedicated to helping future medical professionals make the right decisions for themselves and for the school, Witzburg emphasizes that BUSM is both a challenging, diverse environment where one is pushed to grow but also an open, supportive, and collaborative one.

■ Lack of REM Sleep May Lead to Higher Risk for Dementia

Findings that appeared in the journal Neurology and were presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in London reveal that spending less time in Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and taking longer to enter it are separately associated with a higher risk of developing dementia.

Using data from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS), BUSM researchers studied 321 participants over the age of 60 who underwent an overnight sleep study between 1995 and 1998 and were then followed for an average of 12 years to determine their risk of developing dementia. Upon follow-up, researchers found that

Upon follow-up, researchers found that each percentage reduction in REM sleep was associated with a 9 percent increase in the risk of all-cause dementia.

be related to prior participation in football and that a long duration of play may be related to substantial disease burden.

“The finding of early CTE pathology in high school and young collegiate players emphasizes the urgent need for longitudinal, prospective, multicenter studies to identify young players at risk for CTE as well as treatment strategies and comprehensive care for players who are suspected to have CTE during life. It is no longer debatable whether there is a problem in football; there is a problem.

Through this study, we have identified meaningful opportunities for detection, prevention, and multiple targets to slow or stop CTE, and it is time to come together to find solutions,” said corresponding author Ann McKee, MD, director of BU’s CTE Center and chief of neuropathology at VA Boston Healthcare System.

“Our findings indicate an association between higher sugary beverage intake and brain atrophy, including lower brain volume and poorer memory,” said corresponding author Matthew Pase, PhD, a BUSM neurology fellow and FHS investigator. “We also found that people drinking diet soda daily were almost three times as likely to develop stroke and dementia.”

The researchers point out that preexisting conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and

each percentage reduction in REM sleep was associated with a 9 percent increase in the risk of all-cause dementia and an 8 percent increase in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease dementia.

“Different stages of sleep may differentially affect key features of Alzheimer’s disease. Our findings implicate REM sleep mechanisms as predictors of dementia,” explained corresponding author Matthew Pase, PhD, a fellow in the Department of Neurology at BUSM and an FHS investigator.

■ 110 of 111 Deceased Former NFL Players Had CTE

Nearly every former National Football League (NFL) player who played at least one regular season game, and whose brain subsequently was donated for research, was diagnosed postmortem with the progressive degenerative disease Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).

Those who participate in tackle football before age 12 are twice as likely to have problems with behavior regulation.

According to a BU CTE Center study published in Springer Nature’s Translational Psychiatry, those who participate in tackle football before age 12 are twice as likely to have problems with behavior regulation, apathy, and executive functioning when they get older, and three times as likely to experience symptoms of depression.

Researchers studied 214 former American football players, including 43 who played only through high school and 103 who played only through college. Results from former players who started playing tackle football before the age of 12 were compared against those of participants who started playing at age 12 or older.

“The brain is going through this incredible time of growth between the years of 10 and 12, and if you subject that developing brain to repetitive head impacts, it may cause problems later in life,” said co-author Robert Stern, PhD, director of clinical research at the BU CTE Center.

■ Daily Consumption of Sodas, Artificially Sweetened Sodas, Fruit Juices Affects Brain

People who more frequently consume sugary beverages such as sodas and fruit juices are more likely to have poorer memory, smaller overall brain volumes, and smaller hippocampal volumes, an area of the brain important for memory.

Using FHS data, researchers also found that people who drank diet soda daily were almost three times as likely to develop stroke and dementia when compared to those who did not consume diet soda. These findings appeared separately in the journals Alzheimer’s & Dementia and Stroke.

high blood pressure did not completely explain their findings. For example, people who more frequently consumed diet soda were also more likely to be diabetic, which is thought to increase the risk of dementia.

However, even after excluding diabetics from the study, diet soda consumption was still associated with the risk of dementia.

■ Hypertension before Age 55 Increases Risk of Cardiovascular Death

Whether someone is diagnosed with hypertension— either early (before the age of 55) or later in life—can have important health ramifications.

According to a study in the British Medical Journal, diagnosis of high blood pressure at an earlier age is associated with greater risk of cardiovascular death and signifies an inherited predisposition for the disease. These findings offer important prognostic information in assessing an individual’s cardiovascular risk.

BUSM researchers used FHS data to study several decades’ worth of blood pressure readings collected over multiple generations. They tracked which individuals developed high blood pressure earlier or later in life, identified patterns of earlier versus later onset hypertension among families, and compared the lifetime risks of cardiovascular disease in people with earlier versus later onset hypertension.

These findings will make it easier to study lung diseases like neonatal respiratory distress, COPD, and interstitial lung diseases.

According to corresponding author Teemu J. Niiranen, MD, research fellow at BUSM and the FHS, “We now know that there are at least two types of high blood pressure of which patients and providers should be aware: one type that develops earlier in life, which likely represents an inherited trait; and another that develops later in life that could possibly have more to do with lifestyle factors.

Most importantly, the type that develops earlier in life is related to greater lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease.”

■ Correction of Genetic Mutation in Stem Cells Offers Hope for Treatment of Lung Diseases

For the first time, researchers have developed a way to coax pluripotent stem cells into a specific type of mature lung cell called “alveolar epithelial type II cells” (AEC2s), and to correct a mutant gene whose dysfunction in these cells is known to cause respiratory distress in infants.

Published in Cell Stem Cell, these findings will make it easier to study lung diseases like neonatal respiratory distress, COPD, and interstitial lung diseases caused by dysfunctional AEC2s, which until now were unable to survive and multiply long enough in cell culture to be studied or genetically corrected.

This discovery allows scientists to isolate AEC2s from pluripotent stem cells that can be engineered from any patient. The stability of these cells in culture also enables scientists to create models for understanding the diseases they underlie and to develop new gene, cell, and drug therapies for those diseases.

“Now that we have generated a source of these cells and shown that they can model alveolar diseases in culture, this should make it much easier to study a variety of related diseases, possibly leading to a better understanding of them and hopefully to more mechanism-specific therapies for otherwise incurable diseases,” said corresponding author Darrell Kotton, MD, director of the BU/ BMC Center for Regenerative Medicine.

A Pediatrician Helping Future Ones Cope with Medical School Debt Overwhelming student debt can have a significant influence on the medical specialties that BUSM students choose to pursue.

Physicians specializing in anesthesiology, surgery, and dermatology often earn larger salaries than those entering primary care specialties. In 2016, one-third of medical students graduated with debt between $100,000 and $200,000, and one-quarter had debt of more than $200,000. Recognizing that this issue can be particularly worrisome for students specializing in pediatrics, pediatrician Shirley Klein, MD (MED’68), is doing something about it.

Dr. Klein established the Shirley P. Klein, MD Scholarship

Fund, a permanently endowed fund that provides annual scholarship awards based on financial need to one or more deserving students going into pediatrics.

“I worked with medical students and residents for many years, always encouraging them to pursue a career in general pediatrics without worrying about the financial implications of this choice. I had a small scholarship when I attended BU, and I wanted to give back in a meaningful way,” Dr. Klein explained.

Long involved with the University, she completed the six-year Liberal Arts/Medical Education Program offered through CAS and BUSM, plans to attend her 50th reunion in fall 2018, and serves as a member of the Class of 1968 reunion team.

“Dr. Klein is enthusiastic about Class of 1968 Reunions.

She might be the perfect volunteer; she not only attends, but steps up to support the class gift program,” Associate Director of Development and Alumni Relations Tim Fitzgerald said.

A pediatrician in the Wilmington, Delaware, metropolitan area for 32 years, Dr. Klein served as an attending

physician in the pediatric practice program at the Rocco A. Abessinio Family Wilmington Health Center and worked for Christiana Care, mostly in outpatient pediatrics, before retiring in July 2015. Named Delaware’s CDC Childhood Immunization Champion in 2015, she is a leading advocate for childhood immunizations and is currently a member of the Immunization Coalition of Delaware. n

to help underrepresented faculty and students have a similar experience,” he said.

In his autobiography, Dr. Sullivan writes, “I had no idea what to expect from people at medical school. From an allblack environment, I was going into an all-white one. And I was going to be the integrator…but whatever fears I might have had along those lines evaporated almost as soon as I showed up for

orientation. I was the only black student in my class of 76, which I more or less had expected…but my reception couldn’t have been friendlier, by the professors as well as the students. My antennae were up, but I didn’t catch a single hint that I didn’t belong. It was remarkable.”

Dr. Sullivan met his wife Eva, an attorney, within weeks of coming to Boston in September of 1954.

She had arrived from Pittsfield, Massachusetts, at the same time, and stayed at the Franklin

Square House, a dormitory for women around the corner from BUSM. They married in 1956 and have three grown children: Paul, a radiologist at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas; Shanta, an actress in Los Angeles; and Halsted, a comedy writer for television and movies also in LA. “We are extraordinarily grateful for both Dr. Sullivan’s generous donation to establish this professorship as well as his inspiring leadership in medicine,” said David L.

“The professorship will allow the Department of Medicine to support and recognize a faculty member from a group under-represented in medicine.

Boston University Receives Macy Grant to Improve Refugee Health Education

A

three-year, $392,000 grant from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation will prepare BUSM students at the earliest stages of their medical training to better serve refugee and immigrant populations. Given the unprecedented refugee crisis and the current political and social climate today’s immigrants face, training the next generation of health professionals to be outstanding global healers and leaders is imperative.

The initiative, A Longitudinal Educational Program to Advance the Health and Health Care of Refugees, will be more comprehensive than any existing program in the country offered to medical students.

Over the course of the three-year project period, faculty leaders will develop and implement a multidimensional educational program to provide diverse opportunities for students to learn about, practice, and research refugee health.

Most medical education focused on this patient population currently addresses issues like immunizations and infectious diseases from countries of origin, but does not teach about the physical, emotional, and social manifestations of trauma. The majority of medical students and physicians have a limited understanding of their patients’ cultural and trauma histories and how they impact illness and healing, and limited skills to intervene in a culturally sensitive, patient-centered approach.

“Physicians who care for refugees are often unprepared to address the serious and complex needs of those who seek their assistance because of lack of experience, training, and mentorship in their medical education curriculum. This initiative will begin to fill that void, and also prepare students to deal with other patients who have been traumatized and increase their cultural competence,” said George E. Thibault, MD, president of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation.

The program will be integrated across several health professional programs at BU, including medicine, dental medicine, physician assistant, public health, and social work. Faculty members from each of 24

Boston University School of Medicine

these programs will collaborate closely to develop, evaluate, and disseminate course content. The new curriculum will include both didactic and interactive learning modules that will be required of all first- and second-year students, who will have the option to participate in research and service learning opportunities. A refugee health clerkship and an inter-professional refugee health selective will be optional for students during each of their four years.

“This project builds on longstanding efforts on the Boston University Medical Campus to train students and providers in the care of underserved individuals and communities, including immigrants and refugees,” said Douglas Hughes, MD, BUSM’s associate dean for academic affairs. After developing, implementing, and evaluating the BUSM program, project leaders plan to disseminate the content to other health professional schools. “While our immediate goal is to advance medical education, our ultimate goal is to improve the health, well-being, and long-term adjustment of refugees.”

Sondra Crosby, MD, associate professor of medicine, health law, bioethics, and human rights at BUSM and BU School of Public Health, and Suzanne Sarfaty, MD, associate professor of medicine and assistant dean for academic affairs, are co-principal investigators on this project. Both have established a record of leadership and caring for refugee and immigrant patients.

For the past 17 years, Dr. Crosby has focused her practice on refugee care and asylum seekers. She is director and co-founder of the Immigrant & Refugee Health Program at Boston Medical Center and has participated in the Massachusetts Refugee Health Assessment Program for more than a decade.

As director of the Enrichment office at BUSM, Dr. Sarfaty has more than a decade of experience in developing student educational programs that address urban and global health, research, service learning, and advanced communication skills. n

GIFTS FROM THE DEAN’S ADVISORY BOARD, ALUMNI, FACULTY AND STAFF, PARENTS, AND FRIENDS Boston University School of Medicine is proud to recognize the generosity of members of the Dean’s Advisory Board, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, corporations, foundations, organizations, and friends this past year (July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2017). Their support has helped the School of Medicine establish new programs and projects that enhance the living and learning environment for our students and advance our research. We thank our donors for their vision and philanthropy.

While space constraints prevent us from listing the many donors who gave gifts under $250, we sincerely appreciate their support.

Frank I. Marcus of Tucson, Arizona, writes, “I continue to be an active member of the cardiology section of the university and a principal investigator on an NIH grant to study a genetic disease, right ventricular cardiomyopathy. I do other research as well as participate in clinical activities.”

Lawrence A. Yannuzzi of New York, New York, writes, “More than 50 years have passed since graduation in 1964. Over 600 clinical/scientific papers, 14 books, and numerous awards in ophthalmology (retinal) have been mixed in with patient care (macular disease), training retinal fellows, research, and my expanding family (eight grandchildren). I cherish my education at BUSM and fondly recall all of my distinguished classmates and friends.”

1959 Richard I. Basch of Sarasota, Florida, writes, “I have retired from the practice of diagnostic interventional radiology after 51 years. Since becoming very active at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, I have been a trustee there for the last decade. We have sponsored a fine arts building and I have been awarded an honorary doctor of arts degree. I am dodging hurricanes at present and hope to enjoy our collection of studio art glass for a good while longer.”

1962 Gerald W. Hazard of Barnstable, Massachusetts, writes, “My wife Anne and I became great-grandparents thanks to our oldest granddaughter Jen!”

1969 Jerilynn C. Prior of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, writes, “At 74, I’m working as a professor (medicine/endocrinology) full time at the University of British Columbia; I continue to rise to the (many) challenges of innovative research and to learn.

This past May, we celebrated the 15th anniversary of The Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (www.cemcor.ca), a research and knowledge translation collaborator which I founded in 2002 ‘to reframe scientific knowledge of the menstrual cycle and ovulation in a woman-centered context.’ During this event, I gave a ‘TED-type’ talk on the ‘Preventive Powers of Progesterone.’ Our website, primarily aimed to inform and empower women (with additional information for

healthcare providers and researchers), now receives between 3,500 and 7,000 pageviews a day from more than 180 countries.

In May 2019, I’m hoping to celebrate our 50th BUSM reunion with my classmates in Boston. Cheers!”

1971 Peter M. Taft of La Mesa, California, writes, “After I graduated from Boston University School of Medicine in June 1971, Thayer, my wife of 2 years, and I drove cross-country to San Diego, where I began a surgical internship at the UC San Diego Medical Center. After that, we took a two-year detour to Morocco, where I was the sole MD at Naval Communications Station, Sidi Yahia (a base of 1,800 people).

As head of the medical department there, I supervised 10-plus corpsmen. Our oldest son was born in Morocco, and we returned to San Diego in 1974. I completed my general surgical training in 1979, and then joined the San Diego Kaiser Permanente (KP) Department of Surgery. Along the way, we had a second son.

In 1986, I became chief of surgery and served three 6-year terms, during which time I hired the majority of our department surgeons. My own mixed GS/VS practice evolved, and in my later years I practiced only vascular surgery. I

also was the San Diego KP lead physician for implementing our ambulatory and inpatient electronic medical record, KP HealthConnect.

I retired in 2010 but continued to do some ambulatory vascular surgery and work with our Regional HealthConnect team until 2015.

Now we are fully retired, our sons are both married, and we have two lovely granddaughters nearby in San Diego. Thayer and I spend most of our time with family and travels. I continue to enjoy my hobby of landscape and family photography.”

1972 Robert I. Friedman of Lakeville, Massachusetts, writes, “After practicing primary care internal medicine on my own for 34 years, I joined a large medical group. That did not work out and I partially retired, but have had several jobs since then; I was a Medicare reviewer (I made about 800 house calls over a year and a half) and provided primary care in a Plymouth prison for 16 months. Now I am providing medical care for psychiatric patients in Middleboro and work in a substance abuse clinic, where I really enjoy helping my patients.

I work about 20 hours per week and have plenty of time for our grandchildren and for cycling, among other things.”

Russel M. Jaffe of Ashburn, Virginia, writes, “I continue to learn, grow, and unfold the next generation of clinical insights into personalized proactive predictive primary prevention practices, including a validated health appraisal questionnaire and evidence-based best outcome goal values.”

1974 Clear! Living the Life You Didn’t Dream Of Herman J. Williams, MD (MED’88)

that he could no longer pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a surgeon.

Williams chronicles his near-death experience from cardiac arrest when he was a young medical resident and his struggle to overcome sudden physical limitations, while also coming to grips with the realization

The book also emphasizes the need for Automated External Defibrillators in all public buildings as well as the lifesaving impact of implanted defibrillators.

Thomas R. Insel of Pleasanton, California, writes, “I retired from NIH after 30 years of public service to start a new life in Silicon Valley. I launched Mindstrong Health a few months ago to develop tools for digital mental health. Best part is that my two children, five grandchildren, and Deb—my partner for nearly 50 years—are along for the ride. Love living in California, 2,850 miles from the Beltway.”

Mark S. Moskowitz of Gastonia, North Carolina, writes, “I transitioned out of fulltime surgery practice in 2012 and retired fully this year. Immersed in automotive activities, I am vice chairman on the board of directors of the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America and also serve on the board of directors of Carolina Motorsports Park. I frequently act as a Concours d’ Elegance judge in North America and Europe and write regularly for Sports Car Market, American Car Collector and Hagerty Online. My new car reviews can be found at ConceptCarz.com.”

Robert R. Wolff of Boston, Massachusetts, writes, “I am an attending child neurologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, where I teach residents and medical students. I was delighted when, a few months ago, fourth-year BUSM student Deena Godfrey was assigned to me on the inpatient consult service. She did an outstanding job and reinforced my faith in the excellent quality of the education our current students receive at our alma mater.”

1976 Mark S. Goulston of Los Angeles, California, writes, “My book, Just Listen, has become the top book on listening in the world. I am speaking globally on becoming a better listener to improve communication and cooperation, including training the Russian Federation in Moscow. On another note, I also host Prison Letters with Dr. Mark Goulston, an iTunes podcast.”

1978 Lillian E. Cohn of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, writes, “Thirty-nine years out and still going strong! I continue to enjoy primary care in center city Philadelphia and have been working with MDVIP now for seven-plus years. It’s been a great transition to a saner model of primary care, benefitting both my patients and me—I love practicing medicine this way. Kids are all grown up and now getting married; hope one day to have grandchildren rather than just grandcats.”

1981 Robert M. Lincer of Stamford, Connecticut, writes, “During many wonderful years in private practice in surgical oncology and trauma and acute care surgery, I had always been involved in surgical education and administration and with such dramatic changes in the healthcare landscape, it seemed like the right time to focus more on these areas. So in 2011, I went back to school and received an MBA in Healthcare Leadership from Yale School of Management in 2013. Definitely a different experience being back in school with kids almost as young as my children. I am now chair of surgery at Berkshire Health System in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and a clinical instructor in surgery at BUSM. We have medical and PA students rotating on surgery, medicine, and psych, and I regularly hear how the BU students stand out and are clearly well trained, which is great! It feels good to come full circle and be ‘back’ at BUSM!”

1982 Mimi I. Peak of Newport News, Virginia, writes, “Greetings! I had a great time at our 35th reunion in 2017 and hope to see you all at our 40th! I am enjoying my military retirement after 30 years as a flight surgeon for the Air Force, and have a small solo aerospace medicine practice in town. This year, my husband and I walked the Camino de Santiago (The Way) from Sarria to celebrate our lives and give thanks. Our oldest son Matthew graduated from Virginia Tech, got married, and is working at NASA; younger son Garrett is a senior at Randolph Macon College and applying to medical schools. Love to all and God bless.”

1983 David L. Walton of San Francisco, California, writes, “After 25-plus years of maternal-fetal medicine at Kaiser Oakland, I retired in January (I’m a little embarrassed to think I may be the first in my class to post a retirement in the class notes!). I have done a lot of backcountry skiing with one-way tickets to British Columbia

1987 David C. Lee of Manhasset, New York, writes, “I accepted the chair of emergency medicine position at Wellspan-York in Pennsylvania; looking forward to a new adventure.”

1991 Daniel O. Black of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, writes, “Hello, classmates. After graduation, I did a residency in ophthalmology, followed by fellowships in neuro-ophthalmology and oculoplastics, before going into fulltime academic practice in Quebec City. I have seen our classmate Or Shachar a few times, but rarely interact with Boston classmates. My wife Katherine is also an oculoplastic surgeon, so dinner conversation is basically limited to eyelids. We play together in an ophthalmology department cover band, but with four boisterous kids, we don’t get out much. Give us a shout if you ever wander up north.”

three times and served on the hospital ship USNS Comfort, as well as on several destroyers and submarines in the fleet. I am an attending physician at Frisbie Memorial Hospital and the medical director of Family Care of Farmington, both in New Hampshire. My wife Rebecca and I live in the Lakes Region. My daughter attends Boston University; my son Southern New Hampshire University.”

1997 Suzanne F. Nabi-Tremblay of Keene, New Hampshire, writes, “Andrew Tremblay, MD, and I, both Class of 1997, were recently voted as ‘2017 Favorite Family Physicians’ in the New Hampshire-Monadnock area; this was the first year the category appeared in The Keene Sentinel Choice Awards. Since completing our residencies at The Toledo Hospital in Ohio in 2000, we’ve been employed at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, where Andrew is chair of the Primary Care Department in the Keene division. We have been married for 20 years after meeting in medical school and have three beautiful daughters.”

2007 Jamin V. Brahmbhatt of Orlando, Florida, writes, “Recently I was nominated as secretary/treasurer elect of the Florida Urologic Society, which places me on the path to president of the organization by 2020, a great honor at such a young point in my career. I’ve had the opportunity to give a TEDx talk and have been nominated for ‘Top 40 Under 40’ and multiple ‘Top Doctor’ awards. I’ve also become a television and digital media health expert for several national media outlets. None of this would have been possible without the solid foundation set by my time at BUSM.”

2011 Brandi N. Ring of Denver, Colorado, writes, “I was inaugurated as president of the AuroraAdams County Medical Society of Colorado in September of 2017.”

1991 Daniel O. Black of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, writes, “Hello, classmates. After graduation, I did a residency in ophthalmology, followed by fellowships in neuro-ophthalmology and oculoplastics, before going into fulltime academic practice in Quebec City. I have seen our classmate Or Shachar a few times, but rarely interact with Boston classmates. My wife Katherine is also an oculoplastic surgeon, so dinner conversation is basically limited to eyelids. We play together in an ophthalmology department cover band, but with four boisterous kids, we don’t get out much. Give us a shout if you ever wander up north.”

Since completing our residencies at The Toledo Hospital in Ohio in 2000, we’ve been employed at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, where Andrew is chair of the Primary Care Department in the Keene division.

Brahmbhatt of Orlando, Florida, writes, “Recently I was nominated as secretary/treasurer elect of the Florida Urologic Society, which places me on the path to president of the organization by 2020, a great honor at such a young point in my career. I’ve had the opportunity to give a TEDx talk and have been nominated for ‘Top 40 Under 40’ and multiple ‘Top Doctor’ awards. I’ve also become a television and digital media health expert for several national media outlets. None of this would have been possible without the solid foundation set by my time at BUSM.”
