Purtilo Distinguished chair of<br \/>\npathology and microbiology and director of the Center for Neurovirology<br \/>\nand Neurodegenerative Diseases (CNND), has been named chair of the<br \/>\ndepartment of pharmacology in the University of Nebraska Medical<br \/>\nCenter&#8217;s College of Medicine. The appointment is effective Sept. 1,<br \/>\n2004, according to John Gollan, M.D. Ph.D., College of Medicine dean.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Gendelman is an internationally recognized, highly sought-after<br \/>\nresearcher, clinician and teacher, and I am delighted that he has<br \/>\naccepted this new leadership opportunity at UNMC,&#8221; Dr. Gollan said. &#8220;He<br \/>\nis one of the key researchers who have helped UNMC achieve the<br \/>\nphenomenal research growth that it has seen during the past six years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Gollan, Dr. Gendelman is one of four UNMC scientists<br \/>\nwho are listed by Thomson-ISI&reg; as the top 0.5% of the most cited<br \/>\nscientists in the world. Being acknowledged by Thomson-ISI&reg; as a<br \/>\nHighly Cited Researcher&#8482; means that an individual is among the 250 most<br \/>\ncited researchers for their published articles within a specific<br \/>\ntime-period, Dr. Gollan said. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gollan also praised Dr. Gendelman&#8217;s accomplishments as a teacher<br \/>\nand mentor and indicated that those traits were also key in his<br \/>\nselection as chair. &#8220;Dr. Gendelman has been very successful in<br \/>\nmentoring and training junior investigators who are now funded<br \/>\nresearchers with successful careers of their own,&#8221; Dr. Gollan said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gendelman joined UNMC in 1993 as professor of medicine and of<br \/>\npathology\/microbiology. He was named director of the CNND in 1997 and<br \/>\nwas instrumental in its formation. The center, which has reported to<br \/>\nthe department of pathology and microbiology, would report to the<br \/>\ndepartment of pharmacology. <\/p>\n<p>Under Dr. Gendelman&#8217;s leadership, CNND has seen tremendous growth both<br \/>\nin terms of employees and funding. Today, the CNND has 63 members,<br \/>\nincluding scientists, graduate students, fellows and support staff,<br \/>\nannualized funding of $4.8 million for fiscal 2003-04 and total<br \/>\nexternal grant support of $18.4 million.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am excited about the opportunity to lead this department,&#8221; Dr.<br \/>\nGendelman said. &#8220;The department of pharmacology and the CNND each have<br \/>\nan extremely talented team of scientists. I look forward to the synergy<br \/>\nthat will occur as the CNND researchers and pharmacology researchers<br \/>\ncollaborate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Gendelman, both groups are already allied around the<br \/>\nstudy of neurosciences. &#8220;There are a lot of neurology-related health<br \/>\nissues facing Nebraska and America&#8217;s aging population,&#8221; he said. &#8220;To<br \/>\ncombat such diseases most effectively, interdisciplinary approaches to<br \/>\nbasic research are key. By joining these groups, we are creating<br \/>\nsomething that will be much more than the sum of its parts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to William O. Berndt, Ph.D., interim chair of the department<br \/>\nof pharmacology, the addition of CNND to the department of pharmacology<br \/>\nwill be a good move.&nbsp; &#8220;While the focus of the two research groups<br \/>\nis different, the areas of research are complementary,&#8221; Dr. Berndt<br \/>\nsaid.&nbsp; &#8220;In fact, the recent research by the CNND on a vaccine for<br \/>\nParkinson&#8217;s disease provides new areas of collaboration for the<br \/>\nresearch groups.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pharmacologists study the mechanisms of drug actions and the<br \/>\ninteractions of drugs and natural chemicals with biological systems.<br \/>\nResearch in pharmacology includes studies ranging from gene regulation<br \/>\nand the molecular biology of nerve cell communication to human<br \/>\ntoxicology and clinical evaluation of gene-specific therapies.<\/p>\n<p>The CNND research focuses on inflammatory activities implicated in a<br \/>\nnumber of neurodegenerative disorders including, but not limited to,<br \/>\nHIV-1-associated dementia (HAD), Alzheimer&#8217;s and Parkinson&#8217;s disease.<br \/>\nThe CNND scientists believe that the interplay between the immune<br \/>\nsystem and the brain may be harnessed to counter the death of brain<br \/>\ncells due to viral infection or during neurodegenerative<br \/>\nprocesses.&nbsp; It is this balance between immune activities that may<br \/>\nunderlie the process of dementia and a number of motor abnormalities<br \/>\nassociated with the aging process. <\/p>\n<p>Daniel Monaghan, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology, looks forward to the<br \/>\ncombined department. &#8220;Pharmacology&#8217;s strength is in neurobiology and<br \/>\ncell signaling,&#8221; Dr. Monaghan said. &#8220;The department already has<br \/>\ninternationally recognized experts in the understanding of how neurons<br \/>\nand other cells communicate and regulate each other. Together with the<br \/>\nCNND, the new pharmacology department will cover much of the<br \/>\nneuroscience spectrum and will represent the largest concentration of<br \/>\nboth pharmacologists and neuroscientists in the state. This<br \/>\ncollaboration will significantly expand the scope of basic science<br \/>\navailable to both the pharmacology department and the CNND.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As he looks forward to his new position, Dr. Gendelman said he wanted<br \/>\nto pay tribute to Dr. Samuel Cohen to whom he has reported for the past<br \/>\nten years. &#8220;I am indebted to Dr. Cohen for the support, mentorship,<br \/>\nleadership and vision he has provided over the past decade,&#8221; Dr.<br \/>\nGendelman said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gendelman received his undergraduate degree in 1975 from Muhlenberg<br \/>\nCollege in Allentown, PA. He received his M.D. degree from Pennsylvania<br \/>\nState University College of Medicine in 1979, completed his residency<br \/>\nin internal medicine at the Montefiore Hospital Center, Albert Einstein<br \/>\nCollege of Medicine in 1982 and served as a clinical and research<br \/>\nfellow in the departments of neurology and internal medicine<br \/>\n(Infectious Diseases) at the Johns Hopkins University Hospital from<br \/>\n1982 to 1985. He joined The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine<br \/>\nas assistant professor of medicine (Division of Infectious Diseases) in<br \/>\n1985. He also held positions at the National Institute of Allergy and<br \/>\nInfectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, and the<br \/>\nWalter Reed Army Medical Center prior to joining UNMC in 1993.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to spearheading the growth of the CNND, Dr. Gendelman has<br \/>\ngarnered a series of professional honors. They include the Leo M.<br \/>\nDavidoff Society Award for Distinction in Medical Student Teaching, the<br \/>\nHenry L. Moses Award in Basic Science, the Carter-Wallace Fellow<br \/>\nDistinction in AIDS Research, the UNMC Outstanding Achievement Award,<br \/>\nthe UNMC Internal Medicine Career Investigator Award and the UNMC<br \/>\nInternal Medicine Research Career Excellence Award.<\/p>\n<p>He was named the American Men and Women of Science Distinguished<br \/>\nScientist in 1994, the David T. Purtilo Distinguished Professor of<br \/>\nPathology and Microbiology in 1998, the Pennsylvania State University<br \/>\nDistinguished Alumnus in 1999. From September to December of 2000, he<br \/>\nserved as adjunct professor of Neurobiology and J. William Fulbright<br \/>\nResearch Scholar at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovol, Israel.<br \/>\nHe received the Jacob Javits Neuroscience Research Award in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>He has training grants with UNL and the University of Puerto Rico and<br \/>\nserves as adjunct professor of microbiology and zoology and the<br \/>\nUniversity of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Gendelman has edited several textbooks, serves on four editorial<br \/>\nboards and has served as editor of professional biomedical journals. He<br \/>\nhas had numerous professional teaching and committee appointments, has<br \/>\nlectured nationally and internationally, has served as a consultant and<br \/>\nhas published more than 450 publications and abstracts during his<br \/>\ncareer.<\/p>\n<p>As this transition takes place, Dr. Gollan said special thanks are due<br \/>\nto two individuals. Samuel Cohen, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department<br \/>\nof Pathology and Microbiology, and William O. Berndt, Ph.D., interim<br \/>\nchair of Pharmacology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Cohen has provided outstanding leadership and guidance during the<br \/>\nyears of tremendous growth of the CNND in terms of funding and<br \/>\nscientists. He has been a major source of encouragement and support for<br \/>\nthis work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Berndt has done a tremendous job as interim chair of the<br \/>\ndepartment. He has served in that post since August 2003 and, thanks to<br \/>\nhis scientific expertise and leadership skills, has kept that<br \/>\ndepartment moving forward as I have searched for a chair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-indent: 0.5in;line-height: 150%\"><span style=\"color: black\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial;color: black\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<!-- <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" title=\"tamE p   pka\">tamE p   pka<\/a> --><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Howard Gendelman, M.D., David T.
