| The American Society of Clinical Investigation (ASCI) and the Association of American Physicians (AAP) are among our most prestigious medical societies. Each year, a limited number of new members are recognized for their pursuit of medical knowledge and record of discovery in basic and clinical science. Election to these societies is an important honor.
I am delighted to congratulate three of our faculty members who were recognized this past weekend by election to these societies.
Stephen Hammes, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Endocrinology and W. W. Caruth, Jr. Scholar in Biomedical Research, was elected to membership in ASCI. Steve's studies focus on nongenomic steroid-mediated signaling and ovarian physiology.
Orson Moe, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Director of the Charles and Jane Pak Center for Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research, was elected to membership in the AAP. Orson's studies focus on renal epithelial signaling and ion transport.
Don Rockey, M.D., Professor of Internal Medicine and Chief, Division of Digestive and Liver Diseases, was elected to membership in the AAP. Don's studies address the molecular mechanisms of portal hypertension and hepatic fibrosis/cirrhosis.
At the same meeting Dan Foster, M.D. received the Eric G. Neilson Distinguished Professor Award. No surprise!
Please join me in congratulating these colleagues. We are proud to have them as members of our faculty.
With best regards
Greg Fitz, M.D. |
