Medicine Bulletin Fall 2010 [2] [3] University of Maryland

ince 1807, the University of Maryland School of Medicine has continu-ously evolved to meet the challenges of remaining innovative in teaching, clinical care, research and community engagement. As the state’s only public medical school, we play a crucial role in the health care of the citi-zens of Maryland and beyond. More than two centuries of hard work and creativity by our dedicated faculty, staff, trainees and ardent supporters has secured for the school a place in the top-tier of American medical schools.

While celebrating our successes of the past and present, we must pre-pare for the future, and we must strive to build on our achievements and move to the next level of distinction. To that end, we recently published our 2010–2015 strategic plan entitled Taking a Quantum Leap Forward, which sets forth a series of road maps that will catapult us to even greater success.

Our goal is to improve our already strong performance in the mission areas of education, research, clinical care and community outreach and service, as well as our emphasis areas of finance, philanthropy, information technology and public affairs. There is a wealth of opportunity available to us in the years ahead, and it is important that we remain inspired by our values and vision and energized by our past accomplishments.

The innovative road maps within our strategic plan will help us create an even more educationally rich and nurturing environment for our students; lead us to a better understanding of diseases in order to increase discoveries which translate into better health for our communities; develop more interdisciplinary clinical centers of excellence; and

engage our constituencies to better help them achieve and maintain very good health and well-being.

It was a challenging task to put together a road map for our future when our pres-ent has, at times, seemed so uncertain. The economic turbulence in Maryland and across

the nation—indeed throughout the world—certainly has been felt at our school. However, we have set our sights on better days ahead, and, by implementing this strategic plan, I believe we will take a quantum leap forward to achieve these transformative goals.

Highlights from each of our mission area road maps include:

EDUCATION Increase individual learning opportunities within the curriculum to maximize student participation in high quality research and increase opportunities to participate in community service activities

RESEARCH Launch new major collaborative, multidisciplinary, extramurally-funded programs that will study broad and complex conditions

CLINICAL CARE Launch new multidisciplinary centers of excellence and destination programs for disorders associ-ated with high morbidity and mortality

COMMUNITy ENgAgEMENT Promote community service and outreach as a valued and rewarded academic activity and create a recognition plan to publicly acknowledge outstanding community engagement

Our strategic plan was very much a group effort, and as such I very much encourage alumni and friends to take a vested interest in this innovative plan and to join us as we take this quantum leap together.

To review the document please visit our website at http://medschool.umaryland.edu/strategicplan.

There is a wealth of opportunity available to us in the years ahead, and it is important that we remain inspired by our

values and vision and energized by our past accomplishments.

Gregory F. Handlir, MBA, senior associate dean for finance and resource management, retired June 30. Handlir joined the medi-cal school in 1971 as an assistant staff administrator in the office of financial affairs and was promoted to assistant dean for fiscal affairs in 1973, becoming the youngest medical school CFO in the coun-try. During his tenure, the medical school has grown from 80,000 net square feet and a budget of $40 million to more than 800,000 net square feet and a $1 billion budget. He is being retained as an advisor through December 31.

Reuben Mezrich, MD, PhD, the John M. Dennis Chair and Professor of Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, resigned his position in July. Mezrich had served as chairman since joining Maryland in 2002. After spending a year with the NIH to obtain additional ex-pertise in the area of bioengineer-ing and medical imaging, Mezrich is expected to return to Maryland’s faculty. William F. Regine, MD, the Isadore and Fannie Schneider Foxman Chair and Professor of Radiation Oncology, is serving as interim chair until a successor is announced.

James P. Nataro, MD/PhD ’87, was named chairman of the department of pediatrics at the University of virginia School of

Medicine. Nataro had been on Maryland’s faculty since 1991, serving as professor of pediatrics, medicine, and microbiology & immunology, vice chair of the depart-ment of pediatrics, head of the division of infectious diseases and tropical pediatrics, associate director for research training, and chief of the molecular diagnostics & microbiology section of the school’s center for vac-cine development.

Louisa A. Peartree, MBA, assistant dean for administration in the office of finance and resource management, was named associate dean for finance and business affairs and chief financial officer on July 1. She is responsible for stewarding the school’s financial resources support-ing research, clinical, teaching, and outreach missions. Peartree oversees the school’s operating and capital budgeting process, financial plan-ning, analysis, and control, and she works with leadership on matters related to space management and human resources. She has held man-agement positions with the medical school’s practice plan since 1992 and joined the dean’s office in 1998.

Gregory Robinson, Dmin, MA, assistant dean for operations and human resources, was promoted to associate dean for academic administration and resource manage-ment on July 1. Robinson is respon-sible for overseeing the school’s non-financial resources supporting the school’s research and teaching missions. This includes facilities management, human resources man-agement, and academic and general administration. Robinson has served in the dean’s office of the medical school since 1982.

William E. Tucker, MBA, CPA, chief corporate officer for Maryland’s faculty practice plan since 2006, was named assistant dean for practice plan affairs at the medical school. In this dual role, Tucker will ensure that University Physicians, Inc., maintains a balanced alignment with the academic, clinical, and research programs, and each department practice plan is operating in an efficient and effective manner. Tucker joined the faculty practice plan in 2000 as director of planning and business development.

he University of Maryland School of Medi-cine is recognized for its excellent education, taught by a plethora of outstanding educa-tors. Now, many of the lectures and seminars taught to medical students can be viewed by alumni as well, thanks to an effort by the Medical Alumni Association which has been

warmly received and supported by the medical school.The idea was first proposed by Rick Taylor, ’75. The

Taylor family has generously contributed to the educa-tion of Maryland medical students in multiple ways, in-cluding financial support for the modern renovation of the freshman lecture hall now bearing the Taylor name.

Gary D. Plotnick, ’66, professor of medicine, former assistant dean for student affairs, and member of the MAA Board of Directors is coordinating the effort. He is the ideal candidate, having received nine gold apple awards and seven student council faculty teaching awards. Plotnick, too, believes the project is long overdue. Ten years ago, after becoming co-director of the sophomore pathophysiology and thera-peutics course, he sat through most of the lectures presented during a six-month period.

“As a clinician, listen-ing to these presentations and once again hearing basic concepts as well as the new discoveries was a refreshing and wonderful experience,” Plotnick said. “The thought of making these classes avail-able to alumni—to enrich our professional careers—seemed

Alumni Can View Classroom Lectures On-Line EvENTS

like a wonderful idea, one that would be enthusiastically embraced.”

Here’s how it works: lectures to the freshmen and sophomore medical students in the Taylor Lecture Hall are recorded, and a file is created. The faculty members are asked if they will permit their presentations to be placed on the MAA website (www.medicalalumni.org) and made available for viewing by dues-paying members of the association who agree to abide by copyright and other intellectual property guidelines.

“Our faculty has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic about it,” Plotnick added. “In fact, most are flattered by the invitation to participate.”

To date, permission has been granted for more than 300 lectures delivered to first- and second-year students. Topics include anatomy, genetics, immunology, physiol-ogy, pharmacology, biochemistry, infectious diseases, and

pathophysiology. In ad-dition, there are lectures on various topics such as statistics and epidemi-ology, domestic abuse, geriatric assessment, and newer aspects of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

The MAA currently has some 50 lectures available for viewing. Members paying dues beginning July 1 have access for 365 days from the time payment is received. Lectures will be added each year, and also available are histori-cal presentations from former faculty, including the late Theodore E. Woodward, ’38.

cientists are finding more variation in the human genome than they had previously ex-pected, now that new technologies are allow-ing researchers a closer look at the genomes of many individuals, according to a new study by Maryland researchers. The study, published in the June 25 issue of the journal Cell, is one of the first to take an in-depth look at transpo-sons, known as “jumping genes.”

Transposons are segments of DNA that can repli-cate themselves—meaning that each generation of a human family has more transposons in its genome than its ancestors—and move to new sites in each indi-vidual person’s genome. The researchers examined the genomes of 76 people and found that new occurrences of transposons were surprisingly prevalent.

“A key part of this study was that we developed new, next-generation sequencing and informatics technolo-gies that allowed us to look at these variants for the first time in many human genomes,” says Scott E. Devine, PhD, associate professor and research scientist at the school’s institute for genome sciences.

“As soon as the human genome was

More Variation in Human Genome than ExpectedIn the study published in July,

Schwarcz and his colleagues at the Maryland Psychiatric Re-search Center examined mice that had been genetically engi-neered to have more than 70 per-cent lower kynurenic acid levels than ordinary mice. These mice were found to perform significant-ly better than their normal peers on several widely used tests that specifically measure function in the hippocampus—a critical area of the brain for memory and spatial naviga-tion. The mice were clearly superior in their ability to explore and recognize objects, to remember unpleasant experiences and to navigate a maze. The engineered animals also showed increased hippocampal plasticity, meaning they had a greatly improved ability to convert electrical stimuli into long-lasting memories.

“These results are very exciting because they open up an entirely new way of thinking about the formation and retrieval of memories,” says Schwarcz. “Kynurenic acid has been known for more than 150 years, but only now do we recognize it as a major player in one of the fundamental functions of the brain. Our most recent work, still unpublished, shows that new chemicals that specifically influence the production of kynurenic acid in the brain predictably affect cognition. We are now in the process of developing such compounds for cognitive enhancement in humans.”

Improving Cognition

Robert Schwarcz, PhD

FOR THE FIRST TIME, scientists have linked a brain compound called kynurenic acid to cogni-tion, possibly opening doors for new ways to enhance memory function and treat catastrophic brain diseases, according to a Maryland study. When researchers decreased the levels of kynurenic acid in the brains of mice, their cognition was shown to improve markedly, according to the study, which was published in the July issue of the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. The study is the result of decades of pioneering research in the lab of Robert Schwarcz, PhD, professor of psychiatry, pedi-atrics and pharmacology and experimental therapeutics.

“We believe that interventions aimed specifically at reducing the level of kynurenic acid in the brain are a promising strategy for cognitive improvement in both healthy individuals and in those suffering from a variety of brain diseases ranging from schizophrenia to Alzheimer’s disease,” says Schwarcz.

Kynurenic acid is a substance with unique biological properties and is produced when the brain metabolizes the amino acid L-tryptophan. The compound is related to another breakdown product of tryptophan known as quinolinic acid. In 1983, Schwarcz published a paper in the journal Science identifying the critical role excessive quinolinic acid plays in the neurodegenerative disorder Huntington’s disease. He has since designed a therapeu-tic strategy targeting quinolinic acid for the treatment of Huntington’s disease. Schwarcz also is involved in a company called vistagen, which pursues the develop-ment of neuroprotective drugs based on this concept.

sequenced, it became clear that it was going to vary from one person to the next. Such varia-tion dictates why people look different from one another, why they have different susceptibili-ties to diseases and different life spans. In this study, we’re looking at transposons that insert them-selves in new places in various genomes and disrupt the blueprint.”

Devine continues: “Some transposons do not seem to have a serious impact on the genome, but several dozen transposon insertions have been identified that have caused human disease by disrupting genes,” says Devine, who first began research for this study while on the faculty at Emory University. “We think this is just the tip of the iceberg,”

“We saw for the first time that new transposon inser-tions are happening at a high frequency in each person’s genome,” Devine continues. “We found that if you have a child, the child could have one or more new copies of these trans-posons that you don’t have. From these find-

ings, we predict that there is going to be more variation in human genomes than scientists first believed.”

The transposons found in lung cancer tumor genomes had never been seen before, and could have significance for oncology research. “The mutations could possibly be causing cancer or tumor progression,” Devine explains. Technological advances in DNA se-quencing have made it possible to examine transposons in greater detail, Devine adds, and also have cut the cost of sequencing a human genome from millions of dollars just a few years ago to as little as $10,000 now.

The research was funded by the National Human genome Research Institute, part of the National Insti-tutes of Health, the American Cancer Society and Sun Microsystems.

Transposons are segments of DNA that can replicate themselves—meaning that each generation of a human family has more transposons in its genome than its

ancestors—and move to new sites in each individual person’s genome.

I suspect that not even Phil Mackowiak, ’70, creator of Maryland’s popular historical clinicopathological conference could have foreseen the consequences when he invited me to present the history of Simon Bolivar, the liberator of South America, at his 17th conference on April 30.

Simon Bolivar was chosen as a subject because there has been considerable contro-versy not only as to the cause of his death but also regarding the medical bona fide of the doctor who treated him. Bolivar is the national hero of venezuela, and President Hugo Chávez had already set up a team to investigate the cause of Bolivar’s death; so when he became aware of Mackowiak’s conference he sent his representatives to Baltimore.

Based on my research into Bolivar’s medical history, Paul g. Auwaerter, MD, MBA, FACP, specialist in infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins and clinical discussant at the conference, came up with the suggestion that at least some of Boli-var’s terminal symptoms could have been the result of arsenic given as part of the medication for Bolivar’s repeated attacks of malaria. This gave rise to great excitement in certain quarters in venezuela because this was thought to lend credence to the idea that Bolivar might have been deliber-ately poisoned.

I am now in close contact with members of President Chávez’s investigation team and was recently invited to Caracas to take part in the celebrations in relation to ven-ezuela’s 200th anniversary of independence

and the anniversary of Bolivar’s birthday on July 24.

Under conditions of proper scientific rigour Bolivar’s tomb has now been opened, and the few scraps of bone and teeth are at present being evaluated. The scientific study of the few remains from the tomb will take some months. The first point to be established is as to whether or not there will be sufficient material for DNA analysis because it will need to be established as to whether or not the remains are indeed those of Simon Bolivar. The reason for this is that prior to Bolivar’s body being transferred to venezuela and while it was still lying in Santa Marta, Colombia, there was a major earthquake, and the burial urns were all jumbled up. It was announced in Caracas that the tomb of Bolivar’s sister, Maria Antonia, will be opened so that DNA comparisons can be carried out.

Through my liaison with the investiga-tion team in Caracas, I am working towards setting up a major inter-national conference in Caracas in 2011 at which we should be able to come to as definitive a decision as possible regarding how Bolivar died.

Physicians and health care professionals at the institute of human virology (IHv) battle against AIDS in seven African and two Caribbean countries, where the university’s PEPFAR funding (the President’s Emer-gency Plan for AIDS Relief) recently exceeded $100 million in support of research, clinical care, and training of medical health care providers.

On another part of the medical school campus, the center for vaccine development (CvD) was founded in 1974 (long before the phrase “global health” was coined), and has since expanded its presence throughout the world, developing and testing vaccines against devastating diseases worldwide.

Myron M. Levine, MD, the Simon and Bessie grollman Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Epidemiology & Public Health, and Microbiology & Immunology, who heads the CvD, reports on a recent historic initiative—the global Enterics Multi-Center Study (gEMS)—targeting severe and moderately severe diarrhea, one of the two top causes of death (along with pneumonia) among young children in developing countries.

“The study is conducted in seven sites in Africa and Asia.” Levine says. “We have put together a consortium of the world’s major players in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diarrheal disease. This study may

Behind every triumph is motive, the incentive that drives heroism, builds cities, and saves the lives of children in far-flung places. Maryland faculty, active in 23 developing countries across six continents, share a common in-centive—to fight the catastrophic diseases affecting the most impoverished people in the world. Their combined track record of success places them among the first and foremost of those responding to the call of global medi-

cine. Theirs is the kind of success that is powered by deep, personal concern that their work will make a difference. They cheerfully tackle stifling heat, Mon-soon rain, and distance from family, and talk instead of camaraderie among colleagues and the satisfaction of being part of the team.

well be the largest prospective case/control study of a com-municable disease syndrome ever carried out.”

Designed by the CvD and funded in its entirety by the Bill and Melinda gates Foundation, gEMS implements an identical protocol in all seven sites. Children up to 59 months of age are studied to find pathogens causing the disease. Karen Kotloff, MD, professor of pediatrics and medicine, reports the study aims to resolve the many gaps that exist in medical literature.

“We’re looking at multiple pathogens so we can identify those causing the largest disease burden among children in developing countries,” she says. “In different settings, pediatric ages and times of the year, diarrheal illness can be caused by different pathogens. To guide the development of the most critically needed vaccines to prevent the dis-ease, it’s necessary to prioritize the most important causes.

“gEMS looks for a wide range of pathogens among children with severe diarrhea, and compares results with the isolation of those pathogens from children of the same

age from the same community without diarrhea. Then using conservative statistical meth-ods, the results are analyzed to determine the fraction of diarrhea that can be attributed to any one specific germ.”

She adds that all sites will have completed enrollment for the study by March 2011. “It is our intent to analyze results quickly and share them with the scientific community as soon as possible,” she says.

Vaccine Progress Levine says vaccinology didn’t exist as a medical discipline when the center opened 36 years ago. Since then the CvD has gained an international reputation for developing and testing its own candidate vac-cines, as well as for conduct-ing clinical evaluation and field trials on vaccines made by other investigators, and for measuring the burden of specific infectious diseases in many developing countries.

Development of a vac-cine is only the first step of an uncertain enterprise, followed by understandable delays in approval and licensing. The

real problem, according to Levine, is finding a manufac-turer willing to take on production of a preventive product, destined for use by poor people in developing countries. Levine speaks with the knowledge of having cholera and typhoid vaccines sitting on a shelf at the CvD.

“Manufacturers need to make a profit,” he says. “There has to be a predictable market for the product as well as need driven by the disease. When you’re developing vac-cines for diseases affecting populations in the U.S. or Eu-rope, that isn’t a problem. It’s quite different when the drug or vaccine is one not in need in the industrialized world.”

In the 1970s and 1980s, typhoid fever was highly endemic in Santiago, Chile. In field trials designed and supervised by Levine over a period of 12 years, more than 500,000 Chilean school children participated in the field trials that documented the safety, practicality and efficacy of a live, oral typhoid vaccine (ty21a). Results of those field trials led to licensure of the vaccine by the FDA. Because three or four doses of Ty21 were needed to

stimulate an accepted level of long-lived protection against typhoid, Levine and colleagues went on to develop a more potent, single dose live oral vaccine, strain CvD 909. In addition, the CvD team, led by Levine, has developed a live, oral vaccine candidate, strain CvD 1902, to prevent paratyphoid fever—a disease that is clinically identical to typhoid fever—and that is increasingly caused by germs that are resistant to antibiotics. CvD 1902 is in early clini-cal trials. The research team at CvD has a Salmonella vac-cine in early clinical trials and also has received an NIH grant to develop a vaccine targeting non-typhoidal Salmonella, a problem in both developing and industrialized countries.

CvD 103-HgR, the first genetically-engineered live oral vaccine of any kind, was developed at the CvD and, following extensive testing worldwide, was licensed as a single dose cholera vaccine by many countries. However, the manufacturer of the vaccine had financial problems that led to a disruption in production. A new company is gearing up to produce it, and hopefully to obtain FDA approval.

James Kaper, PhD, professor and chair of the depart-ment of microbiology and immunology, is the CvD faculty member who did the basic science on CvD 103-HgR. The NIH MERIT awardee points out its value in requiring only one dose.

“There was an outbreak of cholera in Micronesia while the vaccine was commercially available, and the World Health Organization (WHO) used our vaccine to curb the outbreak,” he says. “The only other licensed oral cholera vaccine requires two doses. When you are facing an outbreak of cholera that is rapidly sweeping through a population, you need to stop it fast—with just one dose.”

Mission Against AIDSNigeria, which has the largest popu-lation in sub-Saharan Africa, has the second highest HIv infection rates in the world, and ranks 5th in the world for tuberculosis. William Blattner, MD, professor of medicine, and epidemiology & public health, who heads IHv’s Nigeria project, calls it “a deadly alliance between HIv and multi-drug-resistant tuber-

culosis.”PEPFAR and Centers for Disease Control grants

are funding IHv’s million dollar laboratory complex in Nigeria, needed to diagnose this fatal form of TB that can only be diagnosed safely in such a laboratory. Determin-ing the frequency is the first step in stopping the spread to the already compromised HIv population in Nigeria, and to ensure that additional medications are provided in a structured environment.

With 139 prevention sites, and its work with 42 com-munity-based organizations, the impact of IHv’s presence in Nigeria reaches 150,000 people who are receiving care,

and 97,000 in treatment since 2005. Beyond treatment, preventing mother-to-child transmission is an important focus in which, without intervention, one in three children can become infected and many more orphaned.

Recent transitioning of the PEPFAR program has broadened its mandate beyond the focus of HIv-AIDS to women’s health, malaria, TB, and cancer. Blattner reports that the institute is adapting its own plans to accommodate changes in PEPFAR. “We are collaborating on several fronts with medical school investigators in other disci-

plines in an effort to tap into some of these resources and increase our services in Nigeria and elsewhere,” he says.

He reports that there is ongoing work with the depart-ment of neurology to deter-mine the impact of the HIv virus on the brain. As a result of a spiraling incidence of cervical cancer in Nigeria, the IHv is collaborating with the IHv-greenebaum Cancer Cen-ter’s viral oncology program.

One might expect that people who spend weeks in impoverished countries, fight-ing communicable diseases that have the strength to kill, would take a somber approach to their work. Blattner, however, calls it inspirational. He has taken his family to Nigeria on several oc-casions. His son, a recent col-lege graduate, volunteers. His

wife travels to the site, and is part of a support group, the Hope for West Africa Foundation. Even Blattner’s church has sent a contingent of people to help, and independent of the IHv, raised $120,000 for the local hospital there.

“There is a very positive impact in what we are doing in Nigeria,” Blattner says. “you don’t have to be an MD or PhD to want to be part of it. Our COO, Dave Wilkins, pe-riodically takes a team to Nigeria to evaluate the financial methods used by our Nigerian partners, and provide any help they may need.”

Education KeyIn both Africa and the Caribbean, Robert Redfield, MD, professor of medicine, and IHv division head, focuses on furthering the work of the institute through education, spe-cifically advanced training of health care providers native to the region who work in local clinics and hospitals. He explains the program works in several ways.

“We’re training local health providers,” he says. “We also have a repatriation program, in which we are identify-ing highly trained African physicians, now working in the US, and encouraging them to return to Africa. We also

are providing training in internal medicine and infectious diseases to African physicians.”

Doctors, especially those in leadership roles, are criti-cally needed in local clinics and hospitals. Redfield notes those who train in Africa and then come to the US to practice, as well as those who train here and remain, are not entirely motivated by lifestyle or income.

“Many of these physicians have a sense of deep loyalty to their homeland,” he says. “They come to the US and Europe to practice because they don’t have the technology in their own country, and because there is limited opportu-nity for advanced clinical training in their homeland.”

The ways in which the institute is helping to provide

such training in infectious diseases to doctors in rural areas of Africa and the Caribbean are both creative and effective.

Redfield highlights the story of a young physician who graduated from medical school and was mentored in clinical medicine by IHv staff in Kenya. The young physician is a medical resident and soon will complete a fellowship in infectious diseases. After that, he will return to Nairobi to provide clinical leadership and train the next generation of Kenyan doctors in infectious diseases in his homeland, thereby breaking the cycle of need for physicians to leave the country to receive advanced clinical education.

“So far, our educational efforts have placed highly trained infectious disease specialists in Kenya, Nigeria, and Zambia,” Redfield says.

In fact, African physicians now are leading IHv’s clinical education efforts in Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, and Zambia. Another phase of clinical training is IHv ’s assertive progress in establishing strategic alliances with key institutions which will become sources for faculty recruit-ment. For example, in Zambia, in partnership with the University of Zambia, IHv and Zambian faculty teamed together three yeas ago to create a one-year advanced clini-cal training program in HIv, TB, and malaria.

“We are on target in providing advanced clinical training to approximately 15 percent of all Zambian practicing physicians upon completion of the program’s fifth year,” Redfield says.

Hope Against Malaria Malaria cases worldwide number more than a million each year. The most vulnerable victims are African children. According to the WHO, a child dies of the disease every 30 seconds, and there is no vaccine approved for malaria.

So far, defense has been limited to the use of insecticides and mosquito netting. Drugs are available, but resistance to the medications is high. Children who have yet to build immunity to the parasite that causes malaria are hardest hit. That’s why results of research headed by Christopher Plowe, MD, MPH, professor of medicine and chief of CvD’s Malaria section, are being met with considerable optimism by the scientific community.

Robert Redfield, MD

Plowe’s study, conducted in Mali, West Africa, is spon-sored by the U.S. Army, and funded by the NIH, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. It shows a new vaccine tested against malaria to be safe in children. The study includes antibodies found on some children for up to two years. Results of approximately 400 children in the phase II trial


indicate a significantly higher level of antibodies with the new vaccine than with any previously tested.

“We’re not home yet, but our results are very encour-aging,” Plowe reports. “Right now, we’re trying to deter-mine which dose will provide the most effective immune response. ”

Kirsten Lyke, MD, associate professor of medicine, whose work is centered on malaria in Bandiagara, Mali, talks of the partnerships that underline ma-laria prevention.

“The relationship between CvD and the University of Bamako is an established medical collaboration,” she says. “What the American partners have to of-fer is access to grants and funding, as well as a higher graduate level of training.”

In the year 2000, the incidence of childhood malaria in Bandi-agara was between one and two infections a year per child. Prior to the Mali year-round presence of CvD and Malian investigators, 50 percent of youngsters with the most severe form of the disease, cerebral malaria, died. That num-ber has been dramatically reduced to about two percent of children between one and six, as a result of intervention by CvD and the University of Bamako.

Lyke, who has a young son, now confines her work primarily to Baltimore, conduct-ing immunology trials. She says she misses the flexibility of having her “feet on the ground in Mali” and hopes to return in the near future.

“Whether I’m here or there, the real reward in this work is making a difference in helping an underserved popula-tion,” she says. “We have a role in the basic science, the testing of a vaccine or drug, taking it to the field, and then processing samples back here. Our work comes full circle, and that’s rewarding.”

Drug ResistanceIn Malawi, Africa, the fight waged by CvD against malaria continues, where Miriam Laufer, MD, MPH, assistant pro-fessor of pediatrics, monitors resistance to drugs, focusing on preventing the spread of drug resistance among malaria patients.

“We are interested in the drug, chloroquine, the drug that became ineffective during the spread of resistance de-

cades ago, and now is no longer used in most sub-Saharan Africa,” Laufer says. “We questioned what happened once countries stopped using it. Did chloroquine resistance continue or did the chloroquine susceptible parasites come back?”

The team first did a study of parasite genetics and found that the chloroquine susceptible malaria had, in fact, re-turned to Malawi. Laufer and colleagues then conducted a clinical study to show that chloroquine worked in treating malaria in children, as published in the New England Jour-nal of Medicine in 2006. This phenomenon has occurred only in Malawi, the first country to stop using it to treat malaria. Chloroquine-resistant malaria is still common in the countries surrounding Malawi, but a similar trend is expected in those countries in the next five to 10 years. Clinical trials have begun among pregnant women, a population especially vulnerable because the disease affects both mother and infant.

Laufer still manages to find time to travel to Africa, even with a small child. She took him to Malawi when he was seven-months old, and reports

he loved the food, music, and family-oriented soci-ety in the country.

In Mali’s capital city of Bamako, Milagritos Tapia, MD, assistant professor of pediatrics, works with doc-

tors in the local hospital, conducting research on bacterial infections including meningitis, septicemia, childhood diarrhea, influenza, and those that cause pneumonia. She is involved in an epidemiological study of influenza, for which there were no previous data in the country.

“We have begun a household surveillance program of pregnant women,” Tapia reports. “When a pregnant woman comes to a health center presenting with influenza, we provide care and then ask if we can visit her during her pregnancy. Those visits continue after the baby is born, and we monitor the family and other contacts for signs of influenza.” Based on its first-in-the-country resources and capability, CvD Mali has been chosen by the government as the Mali National Influenza Center.

vaccine trials in Bamako include one for Rotateq, a vaccine targeting rotavirus diarrhea. While Rotateq is given routinely to infants in the US, it had not been recommended for those in Africa, pending confirmation of its safety and effectiveness by CvD and others. Tapia says

another field trial of a vaccine, MenAfrivac, that aims to prevent a particularly explosive form of meningococcal meningitis—a serious threat to Mali children and adults—has been approved by WHO as a result of the trials.

“There are challenges in our work,” Tapia concedes. “Local myths and misunderstandings often can keep a child from getting the care he or she needs. But those challenges can be overcome by patiently explaining the need for intervention. In the end, the knowledge that we’re helping so many people outdistances any difficulty.”

A Presence in HaitiWhen a devastating earthquake hit Haiti in January, IHv was already on the scene, a consequence of its 2004 partnerships with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and PEPFAR. The team treats 30 percent of Haiti’s HIv/AIDS patients, and provides medical training for Haitian health professionals. St Francois Hospital, a key partner of IHv

was almost totally destroyed in the quake, and 120 patients and medical staff were buried alive. Members of the IHv/CRS team managed to pull 35 surviving patients from the wreckage.

Out of that tragedy and the enormous rescue effort undertaken by the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, Haiti soon will benefit from a broadening of postgraduate medical training beyond infectious diseases, to include trauma and orthope-

dics under the Shock Trauma’s leadership. Redfield reflects, “Maryland can be proud of doing its

part to help physicians and health care personnel in Africa and the Caribbean to get the training they want, and now can use for those they serve.”

As someone who has been working in undeveloped countries since 1970, Levine talks candidly about the sacrifices made by those who choose a career in global medicine.

“When I see my young colleagues skyping their kids, as I now do with my grandchildren, I think back to what it was like in the 1960s and 1970s when there were no cell phones, e-mail, fax machines, portable computers or Black-berry devices,” he says. “I kept a stack of post cards to send home to let family know I was alive and well.”

He recalls one time he placed a call to his wife from Bangladesh. The call took 24 hours to go through, and he had to be physically present by the phone for about 18 hours to be on hand when the connection was made. He says long absences from family are still painful. Little League games, dance recitals, and birthdays often are missed. There are rewards, however, including making life-long friends among many cultures, and taking pleasure in watching some countries develop over the years. And for faculty members of CvD and IHv, there is that crowning reward—making a difference.

Robert Haddon, ’89

A giant Step for Medicine Haddon assessing

a submerged space station mock up, used for extrave-hicular training.

gical intervention, but responsibility for maintaining health and perfor-mance in an aerospace environment. It’s Haddon’s job to keep astronauts well and physically fit both on earth and in space.

The ISS, which currently is in orbit, was built by its international partners including the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan, Canada and the US. Its mission is to study science in space and, in the course of doing so, the team is learning much about space travel itself.

What are the challenges faced by a physician charged with keeping astro-nauts fit for space flight?

“A great deal goes into ruling out cardiovascular and bone loss issues,” Haddon reports. “We deal too with the neurological impact on astronauts, and the whole range of environmental quality, including air and food quality, plus hygiene and potential changes in one’s immune system. Then there are questions such as which antibiotics do you send into space for astronauts who will be there for six months.”

He adds that emergency situations are practiced through simulation, and that there is a medical capacity in orbit at the space station. An auto-matic external defibrillator, airway equipment, supplemental oxygen, Iv fluids, an emergency kit, and a variety of medications are available.

On an educational level, Haddon studies and gives presentations to the aerospace community on the ecol-ogy within the space station and how humans, who are not sterile beings, can be protected from the inevitable

microbial ecology within that environment.“I once did a master’s thesis on air quality in a hyperbaric

chamber,” he says. “Now, ten years later, I’m facing similar questions that theoretically mimic the same environment.”

Haddon spends two to three months of every year in Rus-sia, supporting the American astronauts who are training on Russian hardware. Since portions of the international space station have been designed and built by different countries—with some pieces assembled in orbit—training mock-ups vary, requiring astronauts to spend time at each agency.

He admits the toughest part of his work is the separation from his wife and two daughters necessitated by the months he spends in Russia each year. He is quick to add, however, that there is a flip side that has provided a family experience probably only a few enjoy. Recently, his family spent three weeks with him in Star City, Russia, where his daughters maintained their studies by attending the Star City Music School.

“We were there for the school’s 40th annual pageant, and my girls were invited to play the piano for a Russian audience,” he says. “It was an experience I think they will treasure in years to come.”

Haddon’s spontaneous enthusiasm for his work is paired with outspoken regard for his years at Maryland. He says what he remembers most is working hard.

“I remember there was an emphasis on clinical think-ing, not just ordering tests, and that has served me in good stead through the years,” he says. “Culturally, there was an interest in world history, as well as medical history, and the relationship between medicine and civilization struck home with me.”

A typical day for Haddon is probably spent primarily in mission control, interacting with the team. He may rise at 4:30 a.m., and set out to help monitor the physiological performance of an astronaut. His responsibilities are varied, but all are collaborative, within NASA, and among the ISS international partners.

According to him, aerospace medicine has changed considerably in the last 50 years, due to the increasing sophistication of the program itself and the backgrounds of astronauts. In the beginning, physically fit young people were sent into space for short periods of time. While today’s astronauts are still exceptionally fit, they are men and wom-en who may have taken time to earn a couple of doctoral degrees, and who have traveled in space many times or for lengthy periods. Some have developed special skills requir-ing intense training. Aerospace medicine is a preventive science, one that has become more multifaceted along with the complexity of an astronaut’s age and background.

At times, talking to Haddon, one can see the boy who graduated from science fiction to an absorption in the space program. When asked about the rewards of his career choice, he says simply that it is going to work each morning and helping to advance a program he believes in. But then, the voice gains momentum and he talks about watching a space shuttle land in the California high desert, then driv-ing up to it, climbing through the hatch, and taking care of people who have just returned from space. It’s then that one understands, not only the enormity of Haddon’s com-mitment to this mission, but the fun he has found living a boyhood dream.SScience fiction, the moon landings, and dreams of space exploration propelled by a boy’s imagination—these were

the building blocks of a self-styled future for Robert Haddon, ’89.From an early age, Haddon was not only fascinated by the space program, he believed firmly and enthusiasti-

cally in its importance. He also wanted to become a doctor.“It wasn’t until I got my MD and completed two residencies that I realized I could combine both interests in a

practical way,” Haddon says.The physician who is board certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases and aerospace medicine, is today

flight surgeon at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center, assigned to supporting the International Space Station (ISS). The term “surgeon” is military jargon that doesn’t imply sur-


RECENTLy TENURED alumnus Amal Mattu, ’93, professor of emergency medicine at Maryland, is invested in teaching, a passion he developed from role models he encountered during medical school. He singles out the late Theodore E. Woodward, ’38, whom he met during an internal medicine rotation in his third year.

“He inspired me to focus on emergency medicine, and caused me to think seriously about the importance of teaching,” Mattu says. “It wasn’t what he taught as much as his enthusiasm for the subject. He thoroughly believed that both medicine and teaching should be fun, and he communicated that to those who were fortunate enough to be his students.”

Mattu, who directs the emergency medicine residency program, has followed in Woodward’s footsteps with numerous teaching awards, from five successive teacher of the year awards at Mercy Medical Center and three similar citations from the medi-cal school, to national honors from the American College of Emergency Physicians and American Academy of Emergency Medicine. He is a frequent invited lecturer at academic institutions throughout the country and in places as far-flung as India and China. In the US, presentations at national conferences include stops at Harvard, yale, Stanford, Mayo Clinic, Columbia, Brown, vanderbilt, University of Pennsylva-nia, Hopkins, and others.

He separates teaching into the kind that is done concurrently with clinical care from the bedside, and that which is performed on the lecture circuit—generally to practicing emergency physicians. Is there a secret to his success?

“I can only say that, from the start, I found myself standing in front of people and trying to make things simple,” he says. “I’m a simple-minded person. I don’t grasp complex concepts. I’ve come to realize that students, residents, and physicians who have been in practice for 20 years all want the same—a lesson that is simple, straight-forward and fun.”

Mattu claims he chose emergency medicine because he enjoyed being the first per-son to meet a patient and come up with a diagnosis. He thinks of medicine, in many ways, as solving a mystery. In emergency medicine a doctor gets the first crack at the mystery.

“We can’t always provide definitive treatment,” he acknowledges. “But it’s our role to see that a patient is headed in the right direction.”

He admits he is partial to emergency medicine because of the variety of patients who come through the ER doors. He has no idea when he arrives each day what the next eight hours will bring, and he enjoys that.

He refers to his national and international presentations as a “nerdy hobby.” Fol-lowing his residency in emergency medicine he served a teaching fellowship at the American College of Emergency Physicians, and it gave him an opportunity to hone in on teaching skills and do some public speaking. To this day he enjoys reading books on the subject and says he learns a little more, or a different technique, from each one. In

addition, he audio and videotapes his presentations to pinpoint areas where he needs improvement.

“you can never settle for where you are in life,” he says pragmatically. He appears to be emphasizing this theory in his leadership of the emergency medicine residency program. In that role, he has spearheaded a program to develop leaders in the field of academic emergency medicine. Residents and faculty are encour-aged, through innovative curricula and mentoring initiatives, to become engaged in writing, teaching, and service. He has expanded clinical rotations to include more critical care, pediatric, international, and com-munity opportunities, as well as didactic and reading curriculum emphasizing geriatrics, cardiology, and risk management in emergency medicine. The result is that the department currently receives more than 1,000 applications each year for 11 residency positions.

“Ours is the only residency program that, in addi-tion to a categorical program in emergency medicine, has three combined programs in emergency medicine/internal medicine, emergency medicine/pediatrics, and emergency medicine/internal medicine/critical care,” Mattu reports.

Mattu has been first author on two books, senior edi-tor on three, and associate editor on another four. The focus of most of his books has been electrocardiogram interpretation and other high-risk topics in the emer-gency department.

Looking back at his schooling, Mattu says he is most appreciative of Maryland’s commitment to education.

“This is not something that is found in every school of medicine,” he says. When I travel around the country

and talk to colleagues at other universities, the most common lament I hear is that schools don’t appreciate the efforts made in teaching, and that education is not a prime focus. Unfortunately, too many talk about good education, but they don’t reward good educators.”

He says he once heard someone claim that neither Socrates nor Osler would achieve tenure at most univer-sities today. “Today’s emphasis on grant-funded research is certainly important,” he says. “It’s good to realize, though, that through the years, Mary-land has recognized the impor-tance of outstanding educators

and has rewarded dedicated educators accordingly.”When it comes to education through lectures on the

national and international scene, he believes too many physicians fail to understand the relevance of publishing their presentations for a broader audience. Mattu sees publication as a very “doable” advantage in being able to disseminate one’s ideas widely.

Married to an internal medicine specialist in private practice, he says his wife has caught the teaching bug and is currently teaching physician assistants while beginning to lecture as well. The Mattus have three children, a nine-year-old son and six-year-old boy and girl twins.

Probably every young medical student starts out with a goal of changing the world, and Mattu was no differ-ent. He got his first and most important lesson toward such an aim from an iconic figure at Maryland who had already changed the world—Ted Woodward.

“His research and international work made him famous,” Mattu says. “But it seemed clear to me that it was teaching that made the greatest impact on his career.”

He remembers once when a student asked Wood-ward about the importance of research and teaching in medicine. Mattu says the answer was simple, memora-ble, and inspiring. It ended with the words, “We entrust our scientists to discover the world, but our teachers to change it.”

Hearing those words, Mattu quickly scribbled them onto a piece of paper. He has carried the quote with him for more than 17 years.

Davidge Hall served as the welcoming venue for 160 first-year medical students as they reported to campus August 12 as members of the class of 2014. Following a trend that began in 1996, this group has a female majority (60%). They posted an average MCAT score of 32 with a 3.73 gPA. Rough-ly 80 percent are residents of the State of Maryland who will be paying nearly $25,000 this year in tuition and fees; the figure is twice that amount for out-of-state students. Members were selected from a pool of 5,000 applicants.

aA simple but elegant ceremony in Davidge Hall on July 2 marked the begin-ning of rotations for the third-year class of 2012. For several years now the clinician ceremony has served as the official sendoff into the hospital wards and clinics. This year’s class of 156 was treated to a keynote address by Mi-chael S. Donnenberg, MD, professor of medicine, and an address by Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, vice dean. Each class member received a gold pin to add to his/her white coat and recited a student clinician oath. The event was of-ficiated by Donna Parker, ’86, assistant dean for student affairs and sponsored by the Medical Alumni Association.

Class of ’12 off to Rotations

A look back at America’s fifth oldest medical school and its illustrious alumni

110 Years Ago

160 Years AgoIn 1850, Maryland’s faculty voted to alter one of their graduation requirements—for a third time since the school’s founding in 1807. Initially students were required to publish a thesis, written in Latin. In 1817 the “publication” requirement was dropped, and in 1824 the thesis could be written in English. Now, faculty announced they would allow a clinical case study to substitute for the required thesis.

In 1900, J. Whitridge Williams, class of 1888, pioneered investigations into the problems of the various phases of placentation. This work established Williams as the world’s leading authority on the subject. His book Obstetrics: A Textbook for the Use of Students and Practitioners was held to be the best in America. Williams was chairman of the depart-ment of obstetrics at Johns Hopkins and from 1911 to 1923 served as dean. In 1914, Williams also served as president of the American Gyne-cological Society.

20 Years AgoIn 1990, Richard F. Leighton, class of 1955, was appointed vice president for academic affairs and dean of the school of medicine at the Medical College of Ohio at Toledo, a position he held until 1996. Leighton joined the institution in 1974 as a professor of medicine and chief of the division of cardiology.

are made by a single donor who may make a single payment or multiple payments over three to five years. Pro-fessors are appointed to the positions after they have been funded in full. Professorships may be established with the promise of a future gift by bequest, although they cannot be filled until the funds are received.

In less frequent cases, endowed po-sitions have been established through gifts from multiple donors in honor of a special person. An example of an endowed fund that is growing toward the professorship level of $1.5 million is the endowment for Elijah Saun-ders, ’60. This fund was established to serve as an endowment supporting the division of cardiology, hyperten-sion section, with the provision that it would become a professorship once it reaches the minimum required level. The fund currently stands at slightly under $1 million in contributions and pledges. Saunders is professor of medi-cine in the division and was recipient of the 2010 MAA Honor Award & gold Key. Once additional contribu-tions reach $1.5 million, the Saunders Professorship will be established and exist in perpetuity. Parties interested in donating to the fund may contact the development office.

After an endowment is established and a faculty member is appointed to the role, the school holds an inves-titure ceremony that gathers the academic community, the donor’s family and friends, as well as board members and other advocates of the school. The program features a formal investing of the faculty member by the dean and testimonials by mentors of the newly installed chair or professor. It also includes remarks by the donor. These events have become wonderful celebrations of accomplishment and philanthropy.

As the school continues its ascent through the ranks of the top-tier medical institutions, endowed chairs, professorships, and distinguished pro-fessorships provide the fuel to recruit and retain star physicians, scientists, and teachers who lead the way.

Raising funds to establish endowed professorships in the medical school remains a high priority because of the powerful impact they have on recruiting and retaining outstand-ing faculty. The availability of an endowed position can often make the difference in a successful recruitment. The medical school currently has fifty endowed positions, a number that doubled during the bicentennial capi-tal campaign that concluded in 2007. As the school moves forward with a new campaign, new professorships are at the top of the list in importance.

The endowed positions come in different forms. An endowed chair of a clinical or basic sciences depart-ment requires a gift of $2.5 million while a professorship is $1.5 million. A distinguished professorship requires the same amount as a chair—$2.5 million. The school’s case for support highlights several priority areas that are seeking such endowed positions in order to strengthen their level of excellence.

A high mark of distinction, a named professorship is often the interest of a grateful patient who is capable of making a large gift in sup-port of a physician who has provided care to the patient or a loved one. In 2009, for example, the Hales Family Foundation contributed $2.5 million to establish the Thomas and Marie Hales Distinguished Professorship in Transplant Surgery. Hales had been a patient of Bartley P. Griffith, MD, who was appointed the inaugural recipient of the position. griffith is professor of surgery and head, division of cardiac surgery. Several endowed positions have been established through generous gifts by medical alumni as well.

In virtually all cases, these signifi-cant gifts of endowed faculty positions

Endowed Faculty Positions Key to Medical School’s Excellence

n January 1, 2010, the requirement of having $100,000 or less in modified adjusted gross income to be eligible for Roth IRA conversions was eliminated as a result of the further enactment of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 (“TIPRA”) provisions. In addition, TIPRA created an incentive for Roth IRA conversions for 2010 as for that year only, a taxpayer may equally split the resulting income impact over the 2011 and 2012 tax years unless he or she elects to report it all in 2010. As the end of tax year 2010 approaches, traditional IRA owners should determine whether a full or a partial conversion to a Roth IRA will provide financial value as an income tax planning, retirement asset management, or estate planning and wealth transfer strategy.

With the passage of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, the Roth IRA became available as a new type of retire-ment asset. It differs from the traditional IRA primarily in the form of taxation. generally, traditional IRAs offer the ability to accumulate pre-tax dollars, allow earnings to grow tax deferred, and subject the future distributions to ordinary income taxation. Roth IRAs, however, offer the ability to accumulate after-tax dollars, either through con-tributions (subject to income eligibility) or conversions of traditional IRAs, and allow the earnings to grow tax free, exempting future qualifying distributions from income tax altogether. Traditional IRA balances may be converted to Roth IRAs either in part or as a whole, and there is no limit on how often one can convert IRA balances. Under certain circumstances, a conversion reversal within pre-scribed time limits, which is termed a recharacterization, can be utilized should a Roth IRA conversion not achieve the expected results.

Tax advisors and wealth planning practitioners have identified four general categories of Roth IRA conversions:

1) Strategic conversions—undertaken by IRA own-ers that view their IRA more as a wealth transfer tool to create a legacy for a future generation than as a retirement funding asset. The Roth IRA may provide for greater wealth accumulation potential as the owner is not subject to the required minimum distribution rules after attaining age 70½ and conversion related taxes can be paid from a non-IRA source without being treated as a gift to the IRA beneficiary.

2) Tactical conversions—executed to generate taxable income in the year of conversion (or the following two years, in the case of a 2010 conversion) that can offset unused special tax attributes such as net operating loss

Ocarry-forwards, business and other ordinary losses, deductions and exemp-tions in excess of income, charitable contribution carry-forwards and non-refundable tax credits. The IRA owner uses the Roth IRA conversion to realize a favorable tax attribute for the IRA while at the same time reducing the amount of income tax liability on the conversion.

3) Opportunistic conversions—used to take advantage of economic conditions, such as short-term market volatility that causes an IRA investment portfolio to temporarily decline in value or in the situ-ation where an IRA investment portfolio holds a stock which is expected to rapidly appreciate in value and thus can be converted and taxed at a lower value than expect-ed in the near future.

4) Hedging conversions—implemented as a hedge against the likelihood of a higher income and or estate tax environment in the future. An income tax hedge might involve a situation where a married taxpayer currently fil-ing a joint tax return expects to file a single income tax re-turn in the future (has a smaller personal deduction in the future) or simply anticipates higher income tax rates in the future as seemingly is expected for the upcoming tax years. An estate tax hedge may result from the payment of conversion related income tax prior to the imposition of the estate tax by reducing the amount of the IRA that will be included in the taxable estate by the income tax paid upon conversion.

Whether your motivation is related to income tax planning, retirement asset management, or estate plan-ning and wealth transfer, if you have not done so already, it is prudent to seek Roth IRA conversion analysis and advice from a qualified tax professional before the 2010 tax year comes to a close.The PNC Financial Services group, Inc.

A high mark of distinction, a named professorship is often the interest of a grateful patient who is capable of making a large gift in support of a physician who has provided care to the patient or a loved one. . . In less frequent cases, endowed positions have been established through gifts from multiple donors in honor of a special person.

Remembered

athan Schnaper, ’49, a distinguished psychiatrist and revered member of Maryland’s faculty since 1954 whose signature wardrobe included red sox and matching bow

tie, died on August 23 at the age of 92.

Born in Baltimore, Schnap-er graduated from Polytechnic Institute in 1936 and received a BS degree at Washington College in Chestertown, Md., in 1940. He taught science for one year at Patterson Park High School before enlist-ing in the U.S. Army during World War II. He served in the Pacific Theater with the 118th general Hospital of Johns Hopkins University as the NCO-in-charge of labora-tory until discharge in 1945. He returned to Baltimore and enrolled at Maryland, graduating with honors in 1949. Schnaper served a rotating internship with the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in Baltimore and received residency training in psychiatry at Sheppard Pratt Hospi-tal from 1950 to 1953.

In 1954, he became an instructor in psychiatry at Maryland, was promoted to associate in psychiatry in 1956, associate clinical professor in 1967, and professor in 1974. In 1972, Schnaper was named chief of the Mary-land Institute for Emergency Medicine psychiatric branch and, in 1976, was made chief of psycho-social services at the cancer center. He received another appointment—professor of oncology—1982. Teaching also included ap-pointments as instructor in psychiatry at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine from 1953 to 1955 and 1960 to 1961.

Research interests focused on psychological implications of severe and multiple trauma, cancer, and AIDS, as Schnaper worked with terminal patients as well as the families. He was a frequent lecturer on these and related topics, and his teaching of residents and oncology fellows centered on helping them overcome insecurities of specializing in a field where success is often measured more in easing pain and suffering rather than curing a patient. Schnaper retired in 1996 but continued working part time at the Marlene & Stuart greenebaum Cancer Center until a few weeks before his death.

Schnaper received numerous awards including the distinguished alumnus award from Washington College in 1975 and humanitar-ian of the year by the Arlene R. Wyman guild in 1983. The Nathan Schnaper Summer Scholars Program was established in his honor at Maryland’s cancer center. Publications included I Pay You to Listen, Not Talk: A Psychiatrist’s 50-Year Odyssey in 2003.

As a member of the class of 1949, Schnaper was an active alumnus and organized many of his class reunions. He was elected to a three-year term on the MAA Board of Directors in 1977 and was a member of the John Beale Davidge Alliance—the medical school’s society for major donors. Survivors include wife Roslyn, son H. William, ’75, Lauren A., ’81, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by one grandson.

He developed an interest in allergy and immunology, and his efforts contributed to the creation of the allergy clinic at Johns Hopkins.
