Purtilo Distinguished Professor of<\/p>\n<p>Pathology and Microbiology and director of the Center for Neurovirology<\/p>\n<p>and Neurodegenerative Diseases (CNND) at the University of Nebraska Medical<\/p>\n<p>Center, has been named a J. William Fulbright Research Scholar, the most<\/p>\n<p>presitgious honor bestowed by the Fulbright Program.<\/p>\n<p><P>As a Fulbright Research Scholar, Dr. Gendelman will serve as a scientific<\/p>\n<p>ambassador for the United States, leaving later this year to study nerve<\/p>\n<p>regeneration for eight months at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The Weizmann Institute is considered one of the leading centers in the<\/p>\n<p>world in neurosciences research especially investigation into how nerve<\/p>\n<p>cell damage in the spinal cord and brain can be regenerated.<\/p>\n<p><P>The Fulbright Program was established in 1946, at the end of World War<\/p>\n<p>II, by Sen. Fulbright of Arkansas. The purpose of the program is to increase<\/p>\n<p>mutual understanding between the U.S. and other countries through the exchange<\/p>\n<p>of persons, knowledge and skills. Participants, who are chosen for their<\/p>\n<p>leadership potential, exchange ideas and embark on joint ventures of importance<\/p>\n<p>to the general welfare of the world&#8217;s inhabitants. The U.S. Department<\/p>\n<p>of State is the principal administrator of the program.<\/p>\n<p><P>Dr. Gendelman is the first UNMC faculty member to be selected as a Fulbright<\/p>\n<p>Research Scholar since John Connolly, M.D., former chairman of the orthopedic<\/p>\n<p>surgery department, went to Australia for seven months of study in 1982.<\/p>\n<p><P>Dr. Gendelman joined the UNMC faculty in 1993 and has focused his research<\/p>\n<p>on neurodegenerative brain diseases.&nbsp; He has made important contributions<\/p>\n<p>to understanding how inflammatory brain responses lead to neurodegeneration<\/p>\n<p>and dementia. A group of UNMC scientists under Dr. Gendelman&#8217;s direction<\/p>\n<p>discovered the means to reverse AIDS-related dementia. The disease previously<\/p>\n<p>led to certain death within weeks to months after the onset of neurological<\/p>\n<p>symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><P>&#8220;It&#8217;s truly a great honor for Dr. Gendelman to be selected as a Fulbright<\/p>\n<p>Research Scholar, and it&#8217;s likewise a very positive reflection on UNMC.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the most competitive awards in science. It&#8217;s a recognition<\/p>\n<p>that goes to only the best and brightest of individuals,&#8221; said Harold M.<\/p>\n<p>Maurer, M.D., UNMC chancellor. &#8220;This is certainly another strong validation<\/p>\n<p>of the outstanding research being done by&nbsp; Dr. Gendelman and his colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re confident that he&#8217;ll be able to apply his learning at the Weizmann<\/p>\n<p>Institute and bring technology back to benefit all Nebraskans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><P>&#8220;Being selected a Fulbright Research Scholar is a humbling experience,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gendelman said. &#8220;It may be an individual honor, but there is no way<\/p>\n<p>I would have gotten it without the support of the 29 researchers and two<\/p>\n<p>administrators in the CNND. I also want to express my sincere appreciation<\/p>\n<p>to the many University of Nebraska faculty, administrators and students<\/p>\n<p>who have stood behind me and been so supportive of my research.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><P>The CNND&#8217;s research is considered to be among the world&#8217;s best in neuroimmunology,<\/p>\n<p>said two of Dr. Gendelman&#8217;s nominators for the Fulbright Award. The research<\/p>\n<p>seeks to understand how brain cells are damaged and to find ways to regenerate<\/p>\n<p>these damaged brain cells in neurodestructive diseases such as Alzheimer&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>disease, Parkinson&#8217; disease, multiple sclerosis and AIDS-related dementia.<\/p>\n<p><P>A small portion of Dr. Gendelman&#8217;s research involves the use of fetal<\/p>\n<p>brain cells from elective abortions and has been the center of a major<\/p>\n<p>controversy in the state since last November.<\/p>\n<p><P>To qualify as a Fulbright Research Scholar, individuals must be nominated<\/p>\n<p>by two leading experts from institutions other than their own. Dr. Gendelman<\/p>\n<p>was nominated by William C. Mobley, M.D., Ph.D., professor and chairman<\/p>\n<p>of the Stanford University Medical Center Department of Neurology and Neurological<\/p>\n<p>Sciences, and Peter G. E. Kennedy, M.D., professor and head of the University<\/p>\n<p>of Glasgow Department of Neurology.<\/p>\n<p><P>In his nomination, Dr. Mobley wrote: &#8220;In Dr. Gendelman and his staff,<\/p>\n<p>UNMC has a genuine champion for discovering both the biological basis for<\/p>\n<p>Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and its treatment. I know of no other group in the<\/p>\n<p>United States that has such a clear view of the role that brain immune<\/p>\n<p>function may play in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><P>In going to Israel, Dr. Gendelman will be collaborating with Michal<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz, M.D., of the Weizmann Institute, who is recognized as a world<\/p>\n<p>authority on spinal cord regeneration. Dr. Schwartz has been able to use<\/p>\n<p>immune cells from the spinal cord and brain to allow an adult rat with<\/p>\n<p>a severed spinal cord to regain partial motor function. Dr. Gendelman is<\/p>\n<p>using these same cells in his research.<\/p>\n<p><P>In his nomination, Dr. Kennedy wrote: &#8220;I believe it is very clear that<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gendelman&#8217;s considerable expertise in macrophage biology and pathology<\/p>\n<p>would be of great value to Dr. Schwartz&#8217;s research program and this combination<\/p>\n<p>of talent may well lead to innovative and productive results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><P>A prodigious researcher, Dr. Gendelman has had more than 160 articles<\/p>\n<p>published in scientific journals, edited three books and served on the<\/p>\n<p>editorial board or as editor of six biomedical research journals. He has<\/p>\n<p>been an invited lecturer for more than 200 scientific seminars and symposia.<\/p>\n<p>A 1979 graduate of Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, he<\/p>\n<p>was honored in 1999 as a Pennsylvania State University Distinguished Alumni.<\/p>\n<p><P>&#8220;The Fulbright recognition is truly an incredible opportunity,&#8221; Dr.<\/p>\n<p>Gendelman said. &#8220;The concepts for brain regeneration are the same as for<\/p>\n<p>spinal cord regeneration. I&#8217;m going to the Mecca for spinal cord regeneration<\/p>\n<p>and studying with the best in the business. Dr. Schwartz and I are trying<\/p>\n<p>to come up with some answers for diseases of the brain and the spine with<\/p>\n<p>no cures that leave people in nursing homes and wheelchairs. Hopefully,<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska will be a better place because of the ideas and technology I will<\/p>\n<p>bring back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><P>Sen. Fulbright, who died in 1995 at the age of 89, was elected to the<\/p>\n<p>U.S. House of Representatives in 1942 and to the U.S. Senate in 1944. He<\/p>\n<p>served five terms in the Senate from 1944 to 1974.<\/p>\n<p><P>UNMC is the only public academic health science center in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Through its commitment to research, education, outreach and patient care,<\/p>\n<p>UNMC has established itself as one of the country&#8217;s leading centers for<\/p>\n<p>cancer research and treatment, solid organ transplantation and arthritis.<\/p>\n<p>During the past year, nearly $31 million in research grants and contracts<\/p>\n<p>were awarded to UNMC scientists, and UNMC&#8217;s funding from the National Institutes<\/p>\n<p>of Health increased by 28 percent, going from $16.2 million to $20.7 million.<\/p>\n<p>UNMC&#8217;s educational programs are responsible for training more health professionals<\/p>\n<p>practicing in Nebraska than any other institution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC Scientist, Dr. Howard Gendelman, Receives Prestigious Fulbright Award Howard Gendelman, M.D., David T.
