\n

Tom McDonald, PhD, a beloved educator who passed along his expertise in the field of immunology to decades of UNMC students, has died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A professor in the Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology with a 45-year career at UNMC, Dr. McDonald is being remembered in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a gifted medical immunology teacher. A dedicated researcher. A humble man who was admired by his students and gave of himself for their good. And a valued colleague who became a mentor, a teaching partner and, in the end, family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNMC leaders and co-workers shared one uniting sentiment: He will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. McDonald touched many over his 45 years as a faculty member in the UNMC College of Medicine as a teacher and researcher,\u201d said Bradley Britigan, MD, dean of the UNMC College of Medicine. \u201cHe was dedicated to the field of immunology and was instrumental in generations of students learning this complex topic. He always sought to provide support for his students and recently established two endowed funds to support the ability of graduate students to travel to present their research at scientific meetings. He will be greatly missed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Joseph Khoury, MD, the Stokes-Shackleford Professor and chair of the UNMC Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology: \u201cDr. McDonald will be missed dearly. He taught and inspired generations of learners during his long career at UNMC. He embodied everything that is great about our institution: collegiality, professionalism, dedication and scientific inquisitiveness, to name a few.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as Dr. McDonald loved to teach and enjoyed being in his research lab, Dr. Khoury said, his passion for supporting students in the graduate studies program was unparalleled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Khoury said, \u201cI am comforted by the fact that he got to see how his generosity to UNMC will make a difference in lives of graduate students by enhancing their learning experience and promoting scientific excellence and distinction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Dr. McDonald and the University of Nebraska Foundation announced his gift to the department \u2013 a gift described as \u201ca capstone to his legacy at UNMC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. McDonald joined UNMC as an assistant professor in 1980, having completed his PhD at Washington State University and undertaking postdoctoral training at the Washington State College of Veterinary Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His expertise was in immunology, and his research lab studied acute phase proteins and inflammation. Dr. McDonald invented, developed and manufactured prototype diagnostic tests for human and veterinary applications, according to his faculty bio, as well as established start-up companies and was awarded at least 12 patents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all his important research, his colleagues said he was dedicated even more to teaching medical students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Allison Cushman-Vokoun, MD, PhD, a UNMC alumni, professor in the department and director of the Division of Diagnostic Molecular Pathology and Human Genetics: \u201cDr. McDonald taught so many physicians and health care workers in this state (and around the country) medical immunology, and he made it interesting and fun. I know my immunology because of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe was so humble. I can\u2019t emphasize enough how loved and admired he was by all medical students. As wonderful of a teacher that he was, he was an even better human being, and he will truly be missed but always remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geoffrey Thiele, PhD, the Umbach Professor of Rheumatology at UNMC, said: \u201cTom was my teacher, my mentor, my colleague, teaching partner, my neighbor, but most importantly he was family. \u2026 His commitment to his research, students and UNMC was unparalleled. He will be greatly missed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Vennerstrom, PhD, professor in the UNMC Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, said: “In Tom, we just lost a dear friend who was the heart and soul of UNMC. When he was head of UneMed, Tom was a great advocate for PNT, the little company that was founded by several COP faculty members. He will be sorely missed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Talmadge, PhD, emeritus professor in the department, said he knew Dr. McDonald since around 1976 when they were at Washington State University together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the decades, Dr. Talmadge said, Dr. McDonald lived for teaching med students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe will be missed, especially by the students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
