\n

The University of Nebraska Board of Regents Friday voted to name a planned biopreparedness exhibit within the Wigton Heritage Center in honor of Philip Smith, MD, one of UNMC\u2019s visionary infectious disease leaders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the naming of the exhibit, the board expressed its gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Smith and his wife, Sherry. The board said the naming is: \u201cIn recognition of Philip W. Smith, MD, founding medical director of the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit, and the dedicated Unit Team.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Smith is credited for establishing the unit in 2005, while serving as chief of the division of infectious diseases. He also led the highly trained biocontainment unit team in 2014, when three patients who had become sick with Ebola were treated in Nebraska. The unit\u2019s success propelled UNMC and Nebraska Medicine into its current global leadership position in biopreparedness and infectious disease research and treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibit, slated to open in early June on level four of the Wigton Heritage Center, will feature the history of biopreparedness at UNMC and Nebraska Medicine. The exhibit will include artifacts, as well as oral histories from members of the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit, those involved in biopreparedness education and research and more. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
