The concerns facing research at schools of medicine in the US are complex, from the pressure on clinician faculty to see more patients in less time—thus crowding out time for research and teaching—to the growing numbers of PhDs in laboratories struggling to compete for declining federal research support for biomedical science.

This issue of Boston University Medicine examines the careers of graduate students and postdocs and showcases how a novel BU program is helping to reengineer the careers of biomedical PhDs by exploring job opportunities outside of academia such as in science policy and journalism, the pharmaceutical industry, or even investing in new drugs and devices on Wall Street.

The central focus of this issue, though, is you, our readers: alumni, friends, foundations, corporations, faculty, and staff who have helped us advance the School of Medicine this past year through your generous financial support.

Also during the past year, almost 100 faculty members received local and national recognition for their research, clinical expertise, contributions to the profession, and community service.

n August 3, 180 first-year medical students received their white coats, symbolic of their first steps on the road to becoming physicians.

Boston University School of Medicine

Surrounded by their families and friends beneath a billowing white tent on Talbot Green, the students participated in the annual White Coat Ceremony, a medical tradition during which they don their white coats for the first time and recite the Hippocratic Oath.

Angela Jackson, MD, associate dean for student affairs, kicked off the ceremony; she was followed by Robert Witzburg, MD, associate dean for admissions, who shared some statistics regarding members of the 167th entering class of BUSM.

“Academically you are among the most accomplished class we have ever had, and you are also a very diverse group,” said Witzburg. “Thirty-six of the 50 states in America are represented in your class and your places of birth include 17 countries. Eighty-two percent of you are bilingual and, as a group, you speak a total of 27 different languages.”

Karen Antman, MD, BUSM dean and provost of the Boston University Medical Campus, candidly shared her insight about the inevitable challenges and situations that likely could arise for the new students, such as passing out during their first anatomy class or retaking their licensing exams. “That doesn’t mean you won’t be good physicians,” she said.

“You’re about to embark on a great adventure with a steep learning curve.”

Ravin Davidoff, MB, BCh, BUSM professor of medicine and senior vice president for

medical affairs and chief medical officer at Boston Medical Center, delivered the keynote address.

After explaining the history and significance of the white coat to the new students, he emphasized that practicing medicine is a collaboration as well as a privilege.

“Medicine is a team sport. There is far too much for any of us to know to ever feel complacent. Each of you, as you move along the lifelong journey of learning and caring for patients, will face the complex dilemma of clinical decision-making,” said Davidoff. “It is truly a glorious journey but it is challenging and daunting. From my perspective, the key to succeeding in this space is to always appreciate the privilege you have been granted to treat patients.”

Douglas Hughes, MD, associate dean for academic affairs, read out student names—promising that his pronunciation

of them would improve before graduation in four years—as assistant and associate deans helped the students put on their white coats.

After the coating, students recited the Hippocratic Oath for the first time, signifying the beginning of their journey into the profession of medicine. They will recite it again at their May 2019 Commencement, signifying their entrance into the practice of medicine. n

TOO MANY POSTDOCS? TOO LITTLE FUNDING.

Why BU’s postdocs are still getting ahead.

By Sara Rimer

helsea Epler, the high-achieving daughter of a Midwestern farmer and a special education teacher, spent the summer between junior and senior years of college falling in love. Working in a microbiology lab at the University of Iowa—an opportunity she won through the National Science Foundation (NSF)—she became besotted by science. She loved staying late to purify proteins and culture bacteria to grow overnight.

She loved coming back to the lab at 7:30 a.m., when she would inhale the earthy aroma of bacteria and know the experiment was working. “I was totally sold on science,” she says.

Epler made up her mind to pursue a career as an academic biomedical research scientist. “In my idealistic, 21-year-old view of things,” she recalls, “I thought if I could put a mark on science, I could help millions of people.”

Fast forward nine years and one PhD in microbiology later, to 2014. Epler was on her second postdoc, in biophysics, at the School of Medicine, spending 13- and 14-hour days in the lab, earning $42,000 a year, and in despair over her future. She was doing all the right things. She had published two journal articles with her mentor, Esther Bullitt, a BUSM associate professor of physiology and biophysics, who had told her she had the chops to become an outstanding independent researcher.

But with Congress constricting federal research funding, Epler realized that she had spent over a decade preparing for an academic job she was unlikely to get anytime soon, if ever. The scarcity of federal resources had left too many bright, highly trained postdocs competing for too few faculty positions.

“Today too many people are chasing too little money to support increasingly expensive research.”

—Harold Varmus, former National Cancer Institute Director

“I called my mother every night, saying, ‘What am I going to do with the rest of my life?’” Epler recalls.

Many promising young scientists have been asking themselves the same question. Epler had committed herself to science in an era when government money was flowing to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which funds the majority of the nation’s public biomedical research through grants to university labs. Between 1998 and 2003, Congress doubled appropriations to the NIH. The biomedical research enterprise—labs, faculty positions, numbers of graduate students and postdocs—expanded accordingly. But when the funding leveled off, so did the opportunities for junior scientists, and Epler was no longer sure where she fit.

“Today too many people are chasing too little money to support increasingly expensive research,” former National Cancer Institute director and Nobel Laureate Harold Varmus and three other prominent scientists wrote in a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences article last April. The result is “a hypercompetitive atmosphere,” the scientists warned, in which “promising careers are threatened.”

Between 1979 and 2009, the number of life sciences PhD students ballooned from 30,000 to more than 56,000, according to the NIH. No one has accurate data on postdoctoral trainees—there has been a large influx of young scientists from Europe and Asia—but their ranks soared as well, and the NIH estimates their number at between 37,000 and 68,000. Although unemployment among people holding biomedical PhDs is extremely low, most of those postdocs will find jobs not in academia, but in industry, law, science policy, government, education, and other fields.

numbers of PhD graduates who are getting independent academic research positions will make biomedical research a less appealing career and that the United States could lose a generation of the best and brightest scientists. There is a striking disconnect, meanwhile, between the evolving biomedical workforce and graduate training, which continues to focus almost exclusively on preparing people for traditional academic research positions, according to a 2012 NIH Biomedical Workforce Working Group report.

Hence, Epler’s life crisis, at age 30. “We all have these rosecolored glasses on when we start,” she says. “We know only 15 or 10 percent of our class will end up getting jobs in academia, but we think we’re going to be in that 10 percent.”

NIH and universities the machine, trainees the engine The NIH and NSF define a postdoctoral trainee as someone with a doctoral degree who “is engaged in a temporary and defined period of mentored advanced training to enhance the professional skills and research independence needed to pursue his or her chosen career path.” That is the ideal, but it’s not how the training always works in practice.

The vast majority of postdocs in the United States are supported on a combination of NIH training grants, fellowships, and research project grants, most notably the NIH R01, the $1.25 million grant that’s the workhorse of biomedical research. Their training is supervised by principal investigators, or PIs, who act as mentors.

Boston University School of Medicine

PIs rely heavily on trainees to carry out most of their lab’s hands-on work, running experiments and collecting the data needed to publish studies and write the next grant application.

If the NIH and universities like BU are the machine of research, says Linda E. Hyman, associate provost for BUSM’s Division of Graduate Medical Sciences, then trainees are the engine. “They’re the ones driving or performing the work,” Hyman says. “They’re often underpaid. They’re in these positions for a long time. Their mentors are the ones who decide when they’re ready to move on, and they provide the letters of recommendation they need to succeed.”

The postdoctoral training period has been traditionally seen as a three- to five-year apprenticeship, the final step to becoming an independent researcher. Things work differently in some departments, such as BUSM’s pharmacology and experimental therapeutics department, which has had a long partnership with the pharmaceutical industry. Many of its graduates and postdocs pursue successful careers in that industry, as well as in academia and government, according to department chair David H. Farb, a BUSM professor of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics.

Farb says he sees postdocs in other biomedical research fields getting stuck in the pipeline; they’re not moving up in academia or on to something else. “You finally get your PhD and now you go into a postdoc,” he says. “Then let’s say it’s another five years, and you’re just at the beginning of being able to do your own work. After years of virtual poverty, you’re 31 years old, you haven’t had a real job, and there are few academic jobs to go around, except for those working in the ‘hot fields’ of research at the moment. You’ve committed your life to science—what do you do?”

Luis Olmos earned a PhD in cellular biology in his native Spain and came to the United States in 2007 to do his first postdoc, at Children’s Hospital in Washington, DC. He is now in the fourth year of his second postdoc, in Tarik Haydar’s neural development and intellectual disorders lab at BUSM. Haydar, a BUSM

Olmos says his mentor, Tarik Haydar, a BUSM associate professor, has given him invaluable opportunities to grow as a scientist: “He’s very supportive.”

associate professor of anatomy and neurobiology, recruited him and has given him invaluable opportunities to grow as a scientist, including a stint at Harvard Medical School’s NeuroDiscovery Center to learn methods to measure cognitive function in mice.

“He’s very supportive,” Olmos says.

Haydar has been trying to arrange a faculty position at BUSM for Olmos and for Bill Tyler, the second postdoc in his lab, but amid all the uncertainty over money, Olmos still worries. He is 39 and he and his wife, who is a lab manager at BU, have three kids under age 7.

Haydar pays both his postdocs well above the NIH recommended guidelines, he says, which start at $42,840 a year and go up to $56,376 after seven years. “They are both superior postdocs,”

he says. “These are two scientists who in the right universe should be running their own labs and starting on their own independent careers, but the playing field is very, very difficult for everybody.”

Haydar says he would commit to supporting Olmos and Tyler as independent researchers for a brief period until they win funding on their own. “This can hopefully get them through the door,” he says. “My lab’s research would be greatly augmented by having them as independent neighbors and colleagues. I am willing to take on my part of that risk and my department has always been willing to provide support for deserving members of the junior ranks.”

Haydar did his own postdoc at Yale in the late 1990s. “There’s this career progression,” he says. “You get a PhD, you do a postdoc, Fall 2015 | bumc.bu.edu

Luis Olmos earned a PhD in cellular biology in his native Spain and came to the United States in 2007 to do his first postdoc, at Children’s Hospital in Washington, DC. He is now in the fourth year of his second postdoc, in Tarik Haydar’s neural development and intellectual disorders lab at BUSM. Haydar, a BUSM

Olmos says his mentor, Tarik Haydar, a BUSM associate professor, has given him invaluable opportunities to grow as a scientist: “He’s very supportive.”

associate professor of anatomy and neurobiology, recruited him and has given him invaluable opportunities to grow as a scientist, including a stint at Harvard Medical School’s NeuroDiscovery Center to learn methods to measure cognitive function in mice.

“He’s very supportive,” Olmos says.

Haydar has been trying to arrange a faculty position at BUSM for Olmos and for Bill Tyler, the second postdoc in his lab, but amid all the uncertainty over money, Olmos still worries. He is 39 and he and his wife, who is a lab manager at BU, have three kids under age 7.

Haydar pays both his postdocs well above the NIH recommended guidelines, he says, which start at $42,840 a year and go up to $56,376 after seven years. “They are both superior postdocs,”

he says. “These are two scientists who in the right universe should be running their own labs and starting on their own independent careers, but the playing field is very, very difficult for everybody.”

Haydar says he would commit to supporting Olmos and Tyler as independent researchers for a brief period until they win funding on their own. “This can hopefully get them through the door,” he says. “My lab’s research would be greatly augmented by having them as independent neighbors and colleagues. I am willing to take on my part of that risk and my department has always been willing to provide support for deserving members of the junior ranks.”

Haydar did his own postdoc at Yale in the late 1990s. “There’s this career progression,” he says. “You get a PhD, you do a postdoc, Fall 2015 | bumc.bu.edu

The broken pipeline After years of reports documenting “the broken pipeline” in biomedical research, and with postdocs themselves speaking up more, there are signs that things are beginning to change.

Last fall Boston postdocs organized a Future of Research symposium at BUSM to call attention to the problem and propose reforms. And now, with the NIH recommending that graduate students and postdocs be better prepared for “a broad-based and evolving research and research-related economy”—in other words, for jobs outside of academia—a growing number of universities, including BU, are stepping up their efforts to recognize and help postdocs.

BUSM opened the Office of Professional Development and Postdoctoral Affairs four years ago, under Hyman. The office expanded to the Charles River Campus in February with the appointment of Sarah Chobot Hokanson (CAS’05), who has a PhD in biochemistry and biophysics and did a postdoc fellowship in chemistry and chemical biology at Cornell, as program director.

The office offers all graduate students and postdocs professional guidance that includes nonresearch-related training, such as workshops led by Lauren Celano (Questrom’10), who runs the Boston area life sciences search and career development firm Propel and helps trainees connect with opportunities outside of academia.

There are 525 postdocs across the University and about two thirds of them are in biomedical research on the Medical Campus.

Last fall, BUSM won a five-year, $1.25 million NIH Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST) grant—one of 17 given to universities across the country. The grant is enabling BUSM to implement a novel program that will reengineer the biomedical training pipeline by preparing postdocs and graduate students for science careers both in and outside of traditional academic research. Hyman is a principal investigator on the BEST team, along with Director of Graduate Studies Barbara M. Schreiber.

Always changing, always new, always exciting Not surprisingly, some BUSM faculty are skeptical about trainees who are being paid out of federal research grants, taking extended time away from the lab for nonresearch-related workshops and other activities.

“Many of us were trained in the culture of being in the lab 24/7,” says Andrew Henderson, a BUSM associate professor of medicine and microbiology and assistant dean of student affairs for the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences, explaining this view. “You were expected to be an academic, and you do not understand why anyone would want to be anything else.

“I do think the culture is changing,” Henderson adds. “Most of us have peers who have left the academic track. Of the people that I trained with during my postdoc at Columbia—from 1991 to 1997— several no longer do bench science.” They are working in venture capital, business development, intellectual property law, consulting, journalism, and for executive search firms, he says.

For all the reports of biomedical research graduate students and postdocs finding happiness and fulfillment outside of academia, there are concerns that the current academic research atmosphere may discourage the best scientists in the rising generation of researchers.

“It’s a joy to do what we do,” says Joseph Mizgerd, a BUSM professor of medicine, microbiology, and biochemistry and director of the Pulmonary Center. “I love trying to understand the biology. It’s always changing, it’s always new, it’s always exciting. We’re really privileged.

I think our students and postdocs don’t hear the plus sides from us enough. The obstacles and anxieties are obvious, and deservedly get emphasis from their mentors. But we should also be telling them more often about the wonderful sides of academic research and what a fulfilling and meaningful career it can be. It’s a really hard and difficult path and you might not make it, but you are guaranteed not to make it if you don’t try. The potential rewards are great.”

Hyman agrees. “BU’s BEST is not saying that academia isn’t a good career,” she says. “We just want people to know what they’re getting into and to open their eyes about options. The problem with the old system is that you weren’t given the opportunity to think about anything outside of academia.”

Sarah Mazzilli, who has a PhD in cancer pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, says she loves the research she is engaged in as a postdoc in the pulmonary research lab of Avrum Spira (ENG’02), a BUSM professor of medicine, pathology and laboratory medicine, and bioinformatics. She also says that she is well aware of how hard the academic path is and that she is determined to try. “I have a lot of freedom here, a lot of support,” Mazzilli says.

“Will I have this perfect tenure position at some high-ranking university? I don’t know that. I have papers to publish; I have to prove myself. You have so many years to get an RO1 and if you don’t do that—then what? It’s terrifying. I try to stay as optimistic as I can.

Neil is one such person.”

The Searle Scholars were chosen by a panel of senior scientists from a pool of 186 finalists nominated by 126 universities and research institutions. “We are delighted that Dr. Ganem has been named a Searle Scholar, one of the most prestigious and competitive new investigator awards,” says Karen Antman, dean of the School of Medicine and provost of the Medical Campus. “We thank the Searle Scholars Program for this award, which will further support Dr. Ganem’s research on how cancer cells adapt to abnormal chromosomal content.”

Ganem uses a combination of high-resolution microscopy, genome-wide RNA screening, and bioinformatics to study the consequences of genomic instability in human cancer. His lab seeks to understand the tumor suppression mechanisms that limit the proliferation of aneuploid cells—cells that have the wrong number of chromosomes and are found in virtually all tumors—and to identify the common genetic adaptations made by cancer cells to overcome these growth barriers.

He says he will use part of his Searle award to upgrade the $150,000 microscope that his lab uses for live cell imaging. As a postdoctoral fellow, Ganem’s expertise in imaging helped him uncover a mechanism leading to chromosome missegregation and the generation of aneuploid cancer cells. This discovery was Nature’s cover article in July 2009 and has been widely cited since publication. During summer 2014, Ganem published a follow-up study in Cell describing how some cancer cells adapt to tolerate this abnormal number of chromosomes.

Ganem says that these awards, named for cancer patients or survivors, offer him inspiration and a sense of purpose. For instance, Jackie King was 19 when she discovered a mole on her back and was diagnosed with melanoma. She died in September 2014 at age 22. “Jackie was a remarkable young woman who fought courageously for three years,” Ganem says. “She advocated tirelessly for the Sunscreen Innovation Act, which was passed by Congress in 2014, and she became an active member of the Melanoma Research Alliance.

■ Being Fit at 40 May Keep Your Brain Sharp at 60

People with poor physical fitness in their 40s may have lower brain volumes by the time they hit 60, an indicator of accelerated brain aging, according to new research presented at the American Heart Association EPI/Lifestyle 2015 meeting. “Many people don’t start worrying about their brain health until later in life, but this study provides more evidence that certain behaviors and risk factors in midlife may have consequences for brain aging later on,” said Nicole L. Spartano, PhD, lead author and a post-­ doctoral fellow at BUSM. In individuals with low fitness levels, the blood pressure and heart rate responses to low levels of exercise are often much higher than in individuals with better fitness. “Small blood vessels in the brain are vulnerable to changes in blood pressure and can be damaged by these fluctuations,” Spartano said. “Vascular damage in the brain can contribute to structural changes in the brain and cognitive losses. In our investigation we wanted to determine whether exaggerated blood pressure fluctuations during exercise were related to later structural changes in the brain.”

A review in the journal Milbank Memorial Quarterly has now found that race/ethnicity is not consistently associated with the overuse of medical care (unnecessary care that does not improve patient outcomes).

thus contribute to the underuse among minorities, further exacerbating disparities in care. “Problems with the fairness of both systems and practitioners must be identified and corrected, and minority patients’ distrust of physicians and health systems and their more pessimistic expectations of the outcomes of treatment must be addressed. It is vital that any corrections do not lead to more inappropriate care among minority patients but instead encourage appropriate care,” said Kressin.

■ Study of Veterans Finds Family Support

During Deployment Reduces Suicidal Thoughts

Health Sciences Division, National Center for PTSD at the VA Boston Healthcare System. According to the researchers, this study provides fresh evidence for the role of deployment family factors in post-deployment suicidal ideation and further highlights the potential of treating mental health symptoms as a means of preventing suicidal thoughts among veterans.

This work was supported by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Health Services Research and Development Service grant: “Validation of Modified DRRI Scales in a National Sample of OEF/OIF Veterans.”

■ Potassium Improved Blood Pressure in Teen

Girls; Salt Had No Adverse Effect

Eating 3,000 mg per day of salt or more appears to have no adverse effect on blood pressure (BP) in adolescent girls, while those girls who consumed 2,400 mg per day or more of potassium had lower blood pressure at the end of adolescence, according to an article published online by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Pediatrics.

■ Race/Ethnicity Sometimes Associated with

Overuse of Medical Care

Racial and ethnic disparities in the receipt of health care (typically referring to minorities not receiving needed care) are well known. A review in the journal Milbank Memorial Quarterly has now found that race/ethnicity is not consistently associated with the overuse of medical care (unnecessary care that does not improve patient outcomes).

However, when overuse occurs, a substantial proportion occurs among white patients. These findings may lead to a better understanding of how and why race/ethnicity might be associated with overuse and may result in ways to reduce it from occurring.

“We found no clear patterns regarding race and overuse by clinical area, type of treatment, category of findings, or the study’s risk of bias, although the quality of data was markedly poorer in those studies finding no race differences, and poorer-quality data analyses were most often evident in studies finding more overuse among minorities relative to whites,” explained lead author Nancy Kressin, PhD, director of the Healthcare Disparities Research Program in the BUSM Department of Medicine, member of the Section of General Internal Medicine at Boston Medical Center and research career scientist at the VA Boston Healthcare System.

According to the researchers, overuse of care among whites may consume scarce health care resources and 18

Family support during deployment is an important protective factor against post-deployment suicidal ideation, which includes thoughts that can range from fleeting consideration of suicide to the development of a specific plan for killing oneself.

According to a new study in the journal Anxiety, Stress and Coping, family support during deployment is an important protective factor against post-deployment suicidal ideation, which includes thoughts that can range from fleeting consideration of suicide to the development of a specific plan for killing oneself. Research on suicidal ideation in veterans who served in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq has revealed a number of important predictors of suicidal ideation, including potentially traumatic deployment experiences such as combat and sexual assault; mental health symptoms and diagnoses such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression; and lack of social support. Despite advances in understanding suicidal ideation among veterans, family factors during deployment remain relatively unexplored as predictors of suicidal ideation in this population.

“We found that both family stress and lack of family support during deployment were associated with suicidal ideation; however, these associations occur primarily through mental health symptomatology, consistent with findings observed for other deployment factors,” explained Dawne S. Vogt, PhD, BUSM associate professor of psychiatry and epidemiologist in the Women’s

Lynn L. Moore, DSc, MPH, BUSM associate professor of medicine, and coauthors examined the long-term effects of dietary sodium and potassium on blood pressure at the end of adolescence. The authors used data from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s Growth and Health Study; participants included 2,185 black and white girls (ages 9 to 10) who were followed for up to 10 years.

The authors found no evidence that higher sodium intakes had an adverse effect on adolescent blood pressure. Some analysis showed that those girls consuming 3,500 mg per day or more of salt had generally lower diastolic blood pressures than girls who consumed less than 2,500 mg per day. Food consumption was based on selfreports and blood pressure was measured annually.

The findings, which appear online in the Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, are the first to show a relationship between fitness and brain structure in older adults, but not younger adults.

“This prospective study showed that black and white adolescent girls who consumed more dietary potassium had lower BPs in later adolescence. In contrast, the data indicated no overall effect of sodium intake alone on BP, and thus do not support the call for a global reduction in sodium intake among children and adolescents. This study emphasizes the need to develop methods for estimating salt sensitivity to be used in future studies of high-risk populations and points to the potential health risks associated with the existing low dietary potassium intakes among US children and adolescents,” the study concluded.

This work was supported by grants from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the National Dairy Council, and the Dairy Council of California.

■ Study Finds Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Contributes to Successful Brain Aging

Cardiorespiratory fitness may positively impact the structure of white matter in the brains of older adults.

These results suggest that exercise could be prescribed to lessen age-related declines in brain structure. The findings, which appear online in the Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, are the first to show a relationship between fitness and brain structure in older adults, but not younger adults.

The researchers compared younger adults (age 18–31) to older adults (age 55–82). All participants had MRIs taken of their brains and their cardiorespiratory (heart and lung) fitness was measured while they exercised on a treadmill. “We found that higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness were associated with enhanced brain structure in older adults,” explained corresponding author Scott Hayes, PhD, BUSM assistant professor of psychiatry and the associate director of the Neuroimaging Research for Veterans Center at the VA Boston Healthcare System.

“We found that physical activities that enhance cardio­ respiratory fitness, such as walking, are inexpensive, accessible, and could potentially improve quality of life by delaying cognitive decline and prolonging independent function.” The researchers caution that additional research is needed to track changes in fitness and brain structure over time, as well as clarify the impact of specific exercise programs (such as strength, aerobic, or combined training) or dose of exercise (frequency, intensity, duration) on white matter microstructure.

■ Being Fit at 40 May Keep Your Brain Sharp at 60

People with poor physical fitness in their 40s may have lower brain volumes by the time they hit 60, an indicator of accelerated brain aging, according to new research presented at the American Heart Association EPI/Lifestyle 2015 meeting. “Many people don’t start worrying about their brain health until later in life, but this study provides more evidence that certain behaviors and risk factors in midlife may have consequences for brain aging later on,” said Nicole L. Spartano, PhD, lead author and a post-­ doctoral fellow at BUSM. In individuals with low fitness levels, the blood pressure and heart rate responses to low levels of exercise are often much higher than in individuals with better fitness. “Small blood vessels in the brain are vulnerable to changes in blood pressure and can be damaged by these fluctuations,” Spartano said. “Vascular damage in the brain can contribute to structural changes in the brain and cognitive losses. In our investigation we wanted to determine whether exaggerated blood pressure fluctuations during exercise were related to later structural changes in the brain.”

A review in the journal Milbank Memorial Quarterly has now found that race/ethnicity is not consistently associated with the overuse of medical care (unnecessary care that does not improve patient outcomes).

thus contribute to the underuse among minorities, further exacerbating disparities in care. “Problems with the fairness of both systems and practitioners must be identified and corrected, and minority patients’ distrust of physicians and health systems and their more pessimistic expectations of the outcomes of treatment must be addressed. It is vital that any corrections do not lead to more inappropriate care among minority patients but instead encourage appropriate care,” said Kressin.

■ Study of Veterans Finds Family Support

During Deployment Reduces Suicidal Thoughts

Health Sciences Division, National Center for PTSD at the VA Boston Healthcare System. According to the researchers, this study provides fresh evidence for the role of deployment family factors in post-deployment suicidal ideation and further highlights the potential of treating mental health symptoms as a means of preventing suicidal thoughts among veterans.

This work was supported by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Health Services Research and Development Service grant: “Validation of Modified DRRI Scales in a National Sample of OEF/OIF Veterans.”

■ Potassium Improved Blood Pressure in Teen

Girls; Salt Had No Adverse Effect

Eating 3,000 mg per day of salt or more appears to have no adverse effect on blood pressure (BP) in adolescent girls, while those girls who consumed 2,400 mg per day or more of potassium had lower blood pressure at the end of adolescence, according to an article published online by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Pediatrics.

■ Race/Ethnicity Sometimes Associated with

Overuse of Medical Care

Racial and ethnic disparities in the receipt of health care (typically referring to minorities not receiving needed care) are well known. A review in the journal Milbank Memorial Quarterly has now found that race/ethnicity is not consistently associated with the overuse of medical care (unnecessary care that does not improve patient outcomes).

However, when overuse occurs, a substantial proportion occurs among white patients. These findings may lead to a better understanding of how and why race/ethnicity might be associated with overuse and may result in ways to reduce it from occurring.

“We found no clear patterns regarding race and overuse by clinical area, type of treatment, category of findings, or the study’s risk of bias, although the quality of data was markedly poorer in those studies finding no race differences, and poorer-quality data analyses were most often evident in studies finding more overuse among minorities relative to whites,” explained lead author Nancy Kressin, PhD, director of the Healthcare Disparities Research Program in the BUSM Department of Medicine, member of the Section of General Internal Medicine at Boston Medical Center and research career scientist at the VA Boston Healthcare System.

According to the researchers, overuse of care among whites may consume scarce health care resources and 18

Family support during deployment is an important protective factor against post-deployment suicidal ideation, which includes thoughts that can range from fleeting consideration of suicide to the development of a specific plan for killing oneself.

According to a new study in the journal Anxiety, Stress and Coping, family support during deployment is an important protective factor against post-deployment suicidal ideation, which includes thoughts that can range from fleeting consideration of suicide to the development of a specific plan for killing oneself. Research on suicidal ideation in veterans who served in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq has revealed a number of important predictors of suicidal ideation, including potentially traumatic deployment experiences such as combat and sexual assault; mental health symptoms and diagnoses such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression; and lack of social support. Despite advances in understanding suicidal ideation among veterans, family factors during deployment remain relatively unexplored as predictors of suicidal ideation in this population.

“We found that both family stress and lack of family support during deployment were associated with suicidal ideation; however, these associations occur primarily through mental health symptomatology, consistent with findings observed for other deployment factors,” explained Dawne S. Vogt, PhD, BUSM associate professor of psychiatry and epidemiologist in the Women’s

Lynn L. Moore, DSc, MPH, BUSM associate professor of medicine, and coauthors examined the long-term effects of dietary sodium and potassium on blood pressure at the end of adolescence. The authors used data from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s Growth and Health Study; participants included 2,185 black and white girls (ages 9 to 10) who were followed for up to 10 years.

The authors found no evidence that higher sodium intakes had an adverse effect on adolescent blood pressure. Some analysis showed that those girls consuming 3,500 mg per day or more of salt had generally lower diastolic blood pressures than girls who consumed less than 2,500 mg per day. Food consumption was based on selfreports and blood pressure was measured annually.

RACHEL FEARNS RECEIVES HARTWELL BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH AWARD Rachel Fearns, PhD, BUSM associate professor of microbiology, has received a 2014 Hartwell Individual Biomedical Research Award supporting innovative research with the potential to benefit children in the United States. One of 12 scientists nationwide to be recognized as a Hartwell Investigator, Fearns will receive $300,000 over three years to study respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a severe respiratory disease in infants and young children and the leading cause of viral death in children. In spite of decades of RSV research, there is currently no vaccine or effective treatment for it. The goal of Fearns’ Hartwell Foundationsupported project is to determine if particular protein activities are essential to the virus. If so, these activities could pave the way toward a major scientific breakthrough: the development of a drug

to combat this common, lifethreatening disease.

The Hartwell Award is designed to fund innovative, cutting-edge research in its formative stages; projects that, as such, are unlikely to initially be supported by traditional funders such as the NIH. Beyond supporting Fearns’ research, the Hartwell Foundation will provide an additional $100,000 to a postdoctoral fellow training in pediatric research.

MASS LIFE SCIENCES CENTER AWARDS $1.92M TO BU, BMC The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC), an investment agency that supports life sciences innovation, research, development, and commercialization, awarded Boston University and Boston Medical Center $1,740,000 to launch an expansive Lung Regeneration Initiative (LRI) as part of the Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM). The LRI’s goal is the clinical application of recent

BU-led discoveries in stem cell research, such as the treatment of lung diseases with personalized therapeutics, as well as the ultimate reconstitution of diseased lung epithelia in patients with emphysema. The LRI also aims to define and launch treatments for pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, and acute lung injury from inhaled pathogens.

MLSC also awarded BU’s Biomedical Laboratory and Clinical Sciences (BLCS) Program, offered by Metropolitan College in collaboration with the School of Medicine, $180,000 in funding to enhance the quality of the training and add to the competencies of the students.

“We are delighted that both the Center for Regenerative Medicine and the Biomedical Laboratory and Clinical Sciences Program have received this honor from the Massachusetts Life Science Center,” said Karen Antman, MD, dean of Boston University School of Medicine and provost of Boston University Medical Campus. “Their investments in these programs will help patients with pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, and acute lung injury as well as provide students with the necessary equipment as they train for careers in the biotechnology field.”

BUSM RECEIVES $405,000 FROM SUSAN G. KOMEN Susan G. Komen has awarded Boston University School of Medicine $405,000 to train

underrepresented minority graduate students at the Boston University School of Public Health on breast cancer disparities experienced by low-income patients.

Led by Associate Professor Tracy Battaglia, MD, the BU Mentorship and Training in Cancer Health Disparities (MATCH) Graduate Training in Disparities Research program will expand on activities previously funded by Susan G. Komen. Through this new three-year grant, participants will develop research skills focused on disparities in cancer care and treatment. Funding will support training in research methods, mentorship by senior investigators, exposure to patient care and research, and engagement with community organizations.

This work is a natural extension of Dr. Battaglia’s expertise in minority health issues, the School’s deep commitment to urban health and underserved populations, and its affiliation with Boston Medical Center, the city’s recognized safety-net hospital and a rich environment for current and future health care professionals dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of all individuals and communities. The MATCH program also addresses the Institute of Medicine’s 2013 recommendation that the health care community, including researchers, work together to equitably improve the quality of life and outcomes for all patients with cancer. n Fall 2015 | bumc.bu.edu

Department of Medicine Creates New Professorships

T

he Department of Medicine proudly celebrates four new endowed professorships honoring and immortalizing iconic faculty members.

The David C. Seldin, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine will honor the late Dr. Seldin, who led the Amyloidosis Center, HematologyOncology Section, and Graduate Program in Molecular Medicine.

An accomplished investigator, clinician, and teacher, he was a beacon of hope for his patients, a source of inspiration for his trainees, and greatly admired by his colleagues.

The Joseph A. Vita, MD, Professorship will honor the late Dr. Vita, associate chief of the Section of Cardiovascular Medicine and a member of the Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute. A renowned and passionate physician investigator and clinician in cardiovascular medicine, he was a generous, award-winning mentor for generations of residents, fellows, and junior faculty.

The Norman G. Levinsky, MD, Professorship in Nephrology will honor the late Dr. Levinsky, chief of the Section of Nephrology (1967– 8, 1971–87), chair of the Department of Medicine (1972–97), and

associate provost of the Medical Campus (1997–2003). The quintessential physician investigator who devoted his distinguished career to discovery, education, clinical care, and administration, he is widely credited with building an extraordinary Department of Medicine.

The John Noble, MD, Professorship in General Internal Medicine will honor Dr. Noble, who recently retired from the department after serving for nearly 30 years. Chief of General Internal Medicine and director of the Primary Care Center at Boston City Hospital (1978–97), he was an insightful clinician and prescient leader who foresaw the importance of primary care in modern health care systems and led the development of a large and successful academic primary care practice.

Working with the leadership of BUSM, the Department of Medicine will appoint outstanding faculty leaders to these endowed professorships. In so doing, the department will further fortify its academic future while honoring the legacies of Drs. Seldin, Vita, Levinsky, and Noble.

Alumni CLASS NOTES 1948 Frank L. Pettinga of Holland, Michigan, writes, “Residency in internal medicine; family practice in Muskegon, Michigan, for 19 years. Became too busy and took a two-year position with the Department of State as an embassy physician that spread into 13 years with tours of duty in Afghanistan; Austria; Washington, DC; MPH-U. Michigan; Egypt; and the Dominican Republic. My work took me to 92 countries.

I then became a medical director at Hackley Hospital back in Muskegon for seven years, where I had practiced before. I finished my four years of part-time industrial medicine. Sue and I now live in a retirement complex in Holland, Michigan, where we enjoy our four children, 10 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. Thanks BUSM for a great start to my medical career.”

1952 Nicholas Giosa of Wethersfield, Connecticut, writes, “At the tender age of 90, I recently had my 217-page book of collected poems, This Sliding Light of Day, published

by Antrim House. For more detailed information on reviews, sample poems, bio, or a book purchase, please visit www.antrimhousebooks. com/giosa.”

1957 Peter A. Fauci of New

Rochelle, New York, writes, “Retired last year after 50 years of surgical practice in New Rochelle.

Did general surgery for 35 years, the last 15 years exclusively breast surgical oncology. Was chief of Breast Surgery at Sound Shore Medical Center. Upon my retirement, Linda and I travel extensively—Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong earlier this year; Thailand, Malaysia, and India last year.

Plan to be in Rio for Carnival next February!”

1958 Arthur L. Finn of Chapel

Hill, North Carolina, writes, “What a lucky life I have led! From BUSM to Duke (two years) to University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (two years) to NIH (two years) to Yale (five years) to UNC (30 years) as a reasonably successful scientist (never without a grant) and professor, then retirement at age 64 to my second career as a clocksmith.

And the phenomenally good fortune of being married to Debbie for almost 59 years, with three children and five grandchildren. I remain in good health, still playing squash two to three times a week and wondering just how long my luck can last. After all that braggadocio, I do want to say that aging isn’t fun, especially as I watch our class size diminish and the world fall apart. I still hope that each of us can leave the world a better place for our having passed through it, but that is a really tough chore, and it isn’t getting any easier.”

1959 Richard I. Basch of Sarasota,

During the last 10 years in the Navy, I taught both pediatrics and allergy and established the first allergy/ immunology program at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Upon discharge from the Navy, I began a 21-year practice of allergy in Falmouth, Massachusetts; after I retired I provided care to adults at the Falmouth Free Clinic for the next five years.

I now perform aviation medical examinations for the Federal Aviation Administration (thanks to my training at Pensacola, Florida, as a naval flight surgeon). I am also an attending physician at the Gosnold Treatment Center here in Falmouth.

We will soon have two progeny living in Boston, so we’re anticipating even more frequent visits to Beantown. I am pleased to see BU and BUSM taking renewed initiative to engage alumni.

I think there is considerable benefit to alumni and the School accruing alumni events, especially in our home communities. Over the years we have seen only two classmates with any regularity, Bill and Sally Maxwell ‘66, who live in Maine, and Jerry and Dianne Bergheim ‘66, who live in Fort Lauderdale. Jerry is retired from psychiatry. Bill is a retired ENT surgeon and my practice has been general and vascular surgery. Our daughter Lisa McHale resides in Tampa and is very engaged with BUSM’s Bob Cantu, Bob Stern, Ann McKee, and Chris Nowinski. BUSM is to be commended for its pioneering investigation into the consequences of repetitive brain damage.

Became too busy and took a two-year position with the Department of State as an embassy physician that spread into 13 years with tours of duty in Afghanistan; Austria; Washington, DC; MPH-U. Michigan; Egypt; and the Dominican Republic. My work took me to 92 countries.

I then became a medical director at Hackley Hospital back in Muskegon for seven years, where I had practiced before. I finished my four years of part-time industrial medicine. Sue and I now live in a retirement complex in Holland, Michigan, where we enjoy our four children, 10 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. Thanks BUSM for a great start to my medical career.”

And the phenomenally good fortune of being married to Debbie for almost 59 years, with three children and five grandchildren. I remain in good health, still playing squash two to three times a week and wondering just how long my luck can last. After all that braggadocio, I do want to say that aging isn’t fun, especially as I watch our class size diminish and the world fall apart.

of Belmont, Massachusetts, writes, “I’m still keeping busy doing solo practice in lovely Winchester. I traveled to Deer Valley for skiing this past April and although they had much less snow then we did, it was still a skier’s paradise for me.

I introduced my nephew and niece (10 and 9) to skiing two years ago and they took to it like fish to water (must run in the family genes; my brother Alex skis great, too). My mom is still as active as ever, only slowing down once in a while—I still can’t get her to take a break once she starts gardening. I am once again president of the Middlesex District of the Massachusetts Medical Society and remind all my fellow physicians in Massachusetts to join the Mass Medical Society. I will try to go to some of the fall reunion events this year. Keep happy and healthy all.”

She was a sweet and wonderful person who offered specialized medical care and personal comfort to so many people throughout the course of her all-too-brief time with us. She sacrificed so much for so many, and always found ways to give of herself even when she seemed to have nothing left to give. Stacey was brilliant, beautiful, and bountiful, and she had a sweetness that touched the lives of everybody whose paths she crossed. She gave far more to this life than she received, and she left us far too soon. I miss her terribly every day, and I remember her with great fondness and affection. On behalf of the entire Wilk and Schwartz families, thank you for being a part of our lives and for giving the best to all of us at all times. I will always love you, and I will always miss you. Rest in peace, my sister.”

“Stan Konefal served as a role model for so many of us,” said Barry Manuel, (CAS’54, MED’58), associate dean for Continuing Medical Education from 1980 to 2014, professor of Surgery from 1982 to 2014, and executive director of the BUSM Alumni Association for 35 years. “He was a skilled and caring surgeon who never forgot his experience at BUSM. He is one of the finest examples of the outstanding alumni we are so fortunate to have.”

CLASS NOTES

“I’ve been in dermatology private practice for 25 years in New Haven and finally adopted an electronic medical record; this year I was elected vice president of the American Contact Dermatitis Society and remain a clinical professor at Yale Medical School teaching medical students and residents. Our daughter, Rebecca, is applying to medical school and our son, Ben, has returned to the US after a two-year teaching stint in Jordan. Our 30th wedding anniversary is on the horizon—there are many tangible markers of the passage of time.”

1984 Ana-Cristina Vasilescu

of Belmont, Massachusetts, writes, “I’m still keeping busy doing solo practice in lovely Winchester. I traveled to Deer Valley for skiing this past April and although they had much less snow then we did, it was still a skier’s paradise for me.

I introduced my nephew and niece (10 and 9) to skiing two years ago and they took to it like fish to water (must run in the family genes; my brother Alex skis great, too). My mom is still as active as ever, only slowing down once in a while—I still can’t get her to take a break once she starts gardening. I am once again president of the Middlesex District of the Massachusetts Medical Society and remind all my fellow physicians in Massachusetts to join the Mass Medical Society. I will try to go to some of the fall reunion events this year. Keep happy and healthy all.”

1985 Cindy L. Juster of Dunwoody, Georgia, writes, “After many years in private practice in Atlanta, I decided several months ago that it was time to start giving back to my community. I now work at a nonprofit community health center providing care for the underserved. In the short time I have been there, I have seen health conditions that I haven’t seen since my pediatric residency; patients and families are simply grateful that someone is willing to address their concerns and improve their health.

I have finally been able to use my MPH by also working five years as co-chief of our Hospitalist Division and three years as inpatient quality and utilization management director. Kaiser health plan, medical group, and facilities are growing with all the national health care changes—we are definitely changing the “face of health care.” On a personal note, I’m enjoying the weather of sunny Southern California with my wife and two daughters, ages 8 and 14.”

1994 Diana V. Perry of Sharon, Massachusetts, writes, “Never been happier! Same job for 15 plus years: neonatologist based at Boston Children’s Hospital. Proud mom of 13-year-old William and 12-yearold Charlotte, as well as our 2-yearold mini Goldendoodle, Dixie. I’ve been asked to join the board of trustees of my alma mater, Skidmore College. I just ran the Boston Marathon (my 14th marathon overall and 8th Boston Marathon) in a ton of rain—I was lucky to finish!

Bikram yoga keeps me fit and sane.

I’m so proud to be a BUSM alumna.

Life is good!”

We recently co-authored our second book as a guide for young doctors entering the field of medicine. Many thanks

for the great foundation that BUSM gave me.”

1985 • Stacey E. Wilk of Edgewater, New Jersey. “Stacey Wilk was my sister. She was a sweet and wonderful person who offered specialized medical care and personal comfort to so many people throughout the course of her all-too-brief time with us. She sacrificed so much for so many, and always found ways to give of herself even when she seemed to have nothing left to give. Stacey was brilliant, beautiful, and bountiful, and she had a sweetness that touched the lives of everybody whose paths she crossed. She gave far more to this life than she received, and she left us far too soon. I miss her terribly every day, and I remember her with great fondness and affection. On behalf of the entire Wilk and Schwartz families, thank you for being a part of our lives and for giving the best to all of us at all times. I will always love you, and I will always miss you. Rest in peace, my sister.”

Thanks to a donor-funded scholarship, “I could come to BU, where I wanted to come,” she says. “When I got my BU financial aid packet, I thought ‘Oh, good.

I don’t have to choose between what I want and what I can afford.’ That’s a great feeling.”
