A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMANWe received news last week that the Pediatric Residency was accredited for 4 years and the pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship for 5 years. In September we also received the good news that Allergy/Immunology’s Fellowship was approved for 3 years as well. These outcomes show the high quality that our core and subspecialty programs demonstrate nationally. Mary Ostein recently joined Pediatrics as as coordinator for the Med-Peds Residency. Additional
personnel for pediatrics and the undergraduate medical education program will be in next months newsletter. We will also have a surprise holiday gift that we will share next month. Have a scary Halloween.

PEDIATRICSAwards and Honors
Dr. Eric Storch, an associate professor of clinical psychology in pediatrics and psychiatry, was recently awarded two prestige honors.
First, Dr. Storch was named one of the recipients of a 2010 Outstanding Research Award for his work in the field of childhood neuro-developmental conditions. He received this honor at a presentation hosted by the Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation, Dr. Karen A. Holbrook, during the first day of the USF Research Week.
Dr. Storch has also been named to the Guild Chair of Pediatric Health Outcomes which is jointly sponsored by the University of South Florida and All Children’s Hospital. With the endowed chair he hopes to, “continue to study ways to improve children’s outcomes (particularly those with autism, anxiety, OCD, and Tourette Syndrome) through the development, implantation, and dissemination of effective behavioral health interventions.”
On the weekend of September 24th, Dr. Angel Luciano was invited to participate at the Perinatal Research Society’s (PRS) annual conference in Avon, Colorado. The PRS is by invitation only and has strict requirements on who is eligible to become a member.
Dr. Luciano was presented with the NIH/NICHD Young
Investigator Award and spoke about some of his ongoing research.
Dr. Luciano was also awarded the NIH Loan Repayment Award. This is a competitive program that pays two years of student loans for physician scientists that spend at least 75% of their time conducting research.
Dr. Tiffany Chenneville, Ph.D. has received her first NIH grant
as a lead investigator, along with co-investigator Lynette Menezes,
Ph.D. The title of their proposal is “Enhancing NIH Supported
Health Research in Gujarat, India” and the amount is $54,200.
Congratulations to Dr. Chenneville and her team!

PEDIATRICSIn recognition of the substantial improvements the Bay Area
Early Steps Program has made over the last three years, the
team (pictured below) received an award at the Statewide
Early Steps Meeting in late September. Since 2007, the
program has moved from the Needs Intervention category to
the Meets Requirement category.

Modell Kids’ Rays Day“I HAD A BALL AT THE FIRST ANNUAL TAMPA BAY KIDS DAY!”
Those were the feelings of parents and kids alike, as our young patients with Primary Immunodeficiency Disease enjoyed the day with their families at
the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Seattle Mariners game on September 26.
The crowd of 225 patients and family members got to spend some “fun time” with their doctors and staff, while enjoying a beautiful day at
Tropicana Field that included free tickets, food vouchers, hats, T-shirts and a fun-filled visit by the Ray’s mascot, Raymond.
Dr. John Sleasman, the Robert A. Good Professor and Chief of the Division of Pediatric Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology, was on hand to welcome the patients and their families, and spent the afternoon cheering
on the Rays with the kids.
The First Annual Tampa Bay Kids Day was sponsored by the Jeffery Modell Foundation, with support from All Children’s Hospital, Baxter, BioRx,
Biotest, CSL Behring, Futures and Options for Kids, Grifols, Octapharma, Talecris, and USF Health.

Update In Allergy and Immunology SymposiumOn Saturday, September 25, Primary Care Physicians, Pediatricians, Emergency Department Physicians,
Allergy/Immunology Specialists, Nurses, Physician Assistants, Residents, Students and other healthcare
practitioners gathered at the Westin Harbour Island to learn about the latest breakthroughs and recommendations
for the evaluation and management of asthma, atopic dermatitis, food allergy, vaccine indications & safety, chronic
rhinitis, and immunotherapy. The talks given at the Symposium consisted of:
Update on Vaccine Indications and Safety - Panida Sriaroon, MD
What is the Value of an ANA test? - Robert Nickeson, MD
Recurrent Infections: When is a work-up indicated? - John Sleasman, MD
Atopic Dermatitis: An Allergists’ Perspective - Morna Dorsey, MD
Chronic Rhinitis - Mandel Sher, MD
NIDA Grant
The Pediatric Allergy/Immunology Division was recently awarded a five-year, 5.5 million dollar grant for a
National Institute on Drug Abuse study. Dr. John Sleasman is the principal investigator at USF and Dr. Maureen
Goodenow is principal investigator at the University of Florida for this joint project entitled, “Systems Biology, HIV/
AIDS, and Substance Abuse (R01).” The proposed project focuses on neurocognitive impairment in HIV-1 infected
adolescents and uses systems biology approaches to identify new peripheral blood bioprofiles related to immunity
and marijuana use. The project is very significant because marijuana use has been reported to be highly prevalent
among HIV-infected youths, and systems biology approaches may reveal new paradigms that can advance
understanding of the relationships between cannabinoid use and HIV infection on neurocognitive function in
adolescents.
