Dr.
Mann's award-winning abstract is entitled "Lower Cumulative Antiretroviral Exposure in People Living with HIV and Diabetes." Tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) in dried blood spots (DBS) is a novel pharmacologic measure of cumulative ART adherence
predictive of viral suppression and future viremia. Her findings, also published in J AIDS, revealed that patients who have diabetes mellitus have 25% lower concentrations of TFV-DP in DBS compared to those without diabetes.
Dr. Lakshmi Chauhan receives the EXCCEL Outstanding Clinical Work During COVID Times Award
This
Department of Medicine award is given to those who have gone above and beyond during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Chauhan has worked tirelessly and with much skill and wisdom to manage our division's response. Her efforts have included but are not
limited to enabling and organizing two new ID services, formulating our treatment guidelines, participating in clinical trials, advising the University of Colorado Hospital, and seeing many extra patients herself. This is an exceptionally well-deserved
award.
ID Division Researchers Find Protein That Helps HIV-1 Navigate Through the Cell
Mamuka
Kvaratskelia, PhD and colleagues have recently published in Nature Microbiology, their discovery that a cytoplasmic protein, Sec24C, helps the HIV-1 core to maintain
its integrity to successfully reach the nucleus. More can be read about their research here.
Congratulations to Dr. Michelle Haas for receiving the 2021 Chase Faculty Community Service Award
This
singular distinction is awarded for an outstanding record of community-centered scholarship, outreach, and service, especially for those who experience adversity. A nominator wrote: “Her passion for equity and social justice has led her
to seek opportunities to help people in our community most in need. For many years she has provided pro bono exams for people seeking asylum. Originally, she would conduct exams after hours in the Denver Metro Tuberculosis clinic. Recognizing
that this was not optimal, she worked with other physician leaders at Denver Health to found the Denver Health Human Rights Clinic…providing complete support for patients and their families including connecting people with legal support
if needed.”
Variants Arising: Dr. Eric Poeschla, Professor of Medicine, spoke about the emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants in a 50 minute Grand Rounds Presentation on March 10, 2021.
His talk was entitled "Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Variants: Implications for the Pandemic, the Vaccines and our Patients." He reviewed the viral properties of the variants and their epidemiological origins and behaviors inside and outside the U.S. He also discussed pathogenic features, evidence for immune evasion and likely impacts on vaccines and treatments. A recording of the full talk is available here. Recordings of previous town halls hosted by the Department of Medicine are available here.
Drs. Katharine Frasca and Brian Montague to lead the I.D. Fellowship Training Program
In
July 2021 Physician Educator Dr. Frasca will take on the Program Director role, with Dr. Brian Montague continuing as an Associate Program Director. We look forward to their leadership and extend many thanks to Caros Franco-Paredes for his excellent
stewardship these past few years and to Dave Beckham and Kristine Erlandson before that. Thanks also to Kelly Rico for her able service as our Education Administrator.
Kvaratskhelia Lab Discovers a Human Protein That Regulates the HIV-1 Life Cycle
Virologist
Mamuka Kvaratskhelia, Ph.D. and colleagues in the Division of Infectious Diseases have published in Nature Microbiology their discovery that a human cellular protein – Sec24c – critically regulates HIV-1. Sec24c, binds to the outer shell (capsid core) of an incoming virus and is necessary for proper infectivity. First authors are Stephanie Rebensburg,
PhD and Guochao Wei, PhD. Other collaborators included the Melikyan, Poeschla, and Kewalramani laboratories. Understanding the dependency of HIV-1 on this protein may have implications for therapeutic intervention. Notably the discovery follows
on their recent report in Science on an ultra-potent new antiviral drug that also binds to a similar region on the incoming capsid.
Dr. Rowan is Associate Director of the Mentored Scholarly Activity Program
Sarah Rowan has been selected for the position of Associate Director of the Mentored Scholarly Activity Program for the University of Colorado School of Medicine. The MSA program is designed to foster self-directed, life-long learning. Students are required to identify and work with a mentor to design and implement a scholarly project. This longitudinal program culminates with students completing a mentored scholarly project, written manuscript, poster, and oral presentation. Sarah will supervise the epidemiology, community, and public health branch of the program. If you are in the Division of Infectious Diseases, expect to hear from Sarah soon about mentoring students and judging the oral presentations.

January 18, 2021. The Division honors the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.
“We
have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now…. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed…”
Dr. Poeschla spoke in a January 13 campus presentation about the new SARS-CoV-2 variants
The
full talk, titled "Implications of Genetic Variants of SARS-CoV-2: The Worrying Prospect of a New Pandemic Phase", can be viewed here.
Treating Invasive Mucormycosis
Invasive
mucormycosis (IM) is a dire infectious complication in immunocompromised people. ID pharmacists Matt Miller and Kyle Molina and Transplant ID physician Maheen Abidi led a multi-center study that showed survival in hematopoietic stem cell recipients with this opportunistic mold infection continues to be poor, but suggested potential benefits of combined treatment -- amphotericin, 3rd generation azoles, and surgical excision -- that
should be prospectively studied further.
Vaccinations Begin
SARS-CoV-2
vaccines are now being administered to frontline health care workers on the Anschutz Medical Campus, as well as at Denver Health and the VA Medical Center. Mutiple Division members continue to take care of COVID-19 patients across the city and
have participated both in vaccine science and in enabling the local implementation of the historic national vaccine campaign. Thomas Campbell, MD was featured in the most recent episode of the CU on the Air podcast,
discussing clinical trials of potential SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, with special attention to the Anschutz Medical Campus participation in the Moderna trial which has now received FDA emergency use authorization along with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
He said that collaboration by many was the key to the success of this effort, noting that the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute offered important structure and that UCHealth’s electronic health records made it easier
to identify volunteers to participate in the trial. “There is light at the end of tunnel" he said. It’s been less than 12 months since this illness was first detected in humans and in less than 12 months we now have two vaccines
that have proven to be highly efficacious and that’s unheard of.”
Dr. Mamuka Kvaratskhelia and Colleagues Publish Groundbreaking HIV Research in Science
As
we focus on COVID-19, we know that additional pandemics are certain to occur when more viruses cross species barriers from animals to humans. In addition to SARS-CoV-2, no virus illustrates this risk more than HIV-1, for which chimpanzees were
the proximate source about a century ago. Dr. Mamuka Kvaratskhelia, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases, has now
led a team of researchers in seven U.S. laboratories in uncovering the underlying mechanism of action of a strikingly innovative addition to the HIV therapeutic armamentarium. The research was published in Science on October 16. It concerns the first in class, ultra-potent HIV-1 capsid inhibitor, GS-6207 (Lenacapavir, Gilead). GS-6207 heralds an entirely new way of treating HIV-1. Its remarkable potency and other advantageous features have led to current
clinical trials with very long dosing intervals (six months). Combining molecular biology, virology, structural biology, high resolution imaging of HIV in cells, and an array of biochemical and biophysical methods, the paper reveals the key mechanism:
blocking HIV’s ability to complete infection by hyper-stabilizing and thereby preventing disassembly of the virion capsid shell in infected cells. The work has strong potential to lead to further treatment advances, but it also illuminates
what is still the most mysterious part of the HIV-1 life cycle: the post-entry fate of the virus capsid core as it traverses the cytoplasm and enters the nucleus. Other contributors on our campus were the Asturias and Poeschla laboratories. Mamuka
was also just awarded a new 5-year NIH R01 grant to take this work forward.
Dr. Franco-Paredes Awarded 14th Annual Faculty Professionalism Award.
Carlos Franco-Paredes MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, is a recipient of the 14th Annual Faculty Professionalism Award. The Faculty Professionalism Award recognizes a School of Medicine faculty member who has served as a role model for professionalism as defined in the School of Medicine Rules.

Katherine Frasca and Donna McGregor Lead New Virtual TelePrEP/HIV Prevention Program
UCHealth
has launched a new service, the TelePrEP/HIV Prevention Program. This entirely virtual service allows at-risk people – especially in rural and underserved areas of the state – to confidentially receive medical care for HIV prevention
from trained medical personnel via their computers, smart phones, and tablets. This program is an extension of the existing in-person PrEP Clinic at the Infectious Diseases Group Practice at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. Read more at UCHealth Today.
Santiago and Wilson Labs Decipher Functional Differences Between the Antiviral Interferons
Early
during virus infection, our bodies produce Interferons (IFNs). These antiviral agents are highly diverse, with 12 distinct IFNa subtypes and IFNb being the most highly expressed. Of these, only two, IFNa2 and IFNb, are approved for clinical use,
and in fact are being tested against COVID-19 in ongoing clinical trials. However, Interferons need to be administered with care, as
they cause adverse effects. In PLOS Pathogens, a team led by Drs. Mario Santiago and Cara Wilson now report that IFNa2 is not the most potent antiviral interferon against HIV-1. In a critical target, helper T cells in the gut, IFNa8, IFNa14 and IFNb inhibited
HIV-1 more than IFNa2. Using unbiased transcriptomics, the team then showed that distinct IFNa subtypes and IFNb triggered common and unique gene sets and cellular pathways, suggesting that these diverse Interferons have both redundant and nonredundant
functions. Specifically, IFNb altered 3-times more genes than any IFNa subtype. Interestingly, in the gut of persons with chronic HIV-1 infection, IFNb, but not IFNa, was induced. Genes specifically induced by IFNb were decreased during HIV-1
infection and altered pathways that could promote inflammation and depletion of CD4 T cells, both critical features of AIDS. The work suggests that we should not limit ourselves to the 2 clinically available Interferons to combat viral epidemics
and pandemics; evolution has given us a diverse range of antiviral Interferons to choose and improve upon.
Understanding How Bats are Recurrent Sources of Lethal Human Viruses
Bats have been primary reservoirs for multiple lethal human viral pathogens, such as SARS, MERS, rabies, Henipa viruses, and most recently, SARS-CoV-2. The probability that further zoonoses will emerge from them is high and the COVID-19 pandemic
suggests that bat innate immune systems are insufficiently characterized relative to the medical importance of these mammals. Restriction factors are main innate immune effectors, limit viral host switching/emergence, and exert strong selection
pressure when it occurs. HIV-1 exemplifies how retroviruses can also be severe pathogens when they cross species barriers, and bats harbor many endogenous and also at least one exogenous retrovirus. The Poeschla lab has now identified and characterized
a retroviral restriction in bats. Working with colleagues in Singapore and Australia, they studied the large bat Pteropus alecto, which is the reservoir species for Nipah virus.
Primate lentiviruses are specifically restricted while nonprimate lentiviruses are entirely unrestricted. The particular retroviral restriction pattern has singular features, but is dependent on viral capsid interactions with cyclophilin A, a
cellular protein known to complexly regulate HIV and SIV replication, including restriction.
Women of Color on the Front Lines: Portraits of Unsung Heroes
Dr. Sarah Rowan was featured in CU Medicine Today in an article about her project, Women of Color on the front lines. Artworks by her and fellow artists have been turned into an online gallery that show the strength and determination of health care providers and the creativity and talent of the artists. Dr. Rowan has long painted portraits to relax but in the midst of the pandemic, her hobby took on newfound importance, and prompted her to find a way to celebrate an overlooked community of frontline workers emerging during the crisis. She and her fellow artists seek to honor all health care workers who are on the front lines of the health care response. To raise the profile of women of color, she asked physician friends to send selfies so that she could make portraits. Those friends contacted other friends and within days, Rowan had 150 photos from physicians across the country and has attracted national attention for the project. Over 75 other artists have signed up.
Protecting detainees from COVID-19
Dr.
Carlos Franco-Paredes was the subject of a feature article in CU Medicine Today about his work inspecting
county jails, advising state prison leaders, and advocating for safer conditions for people held in immigration detention centers. His activities have been multifaceted, and included traveling coast-to-coast to inspect jails and prisons, serving
as the court-appointed inspector of the Prince George’s County Jail in Maryland, and inspecting facilities in Oakland and for the Los Angeles County jail system. He also has issued advocacy letters used in court hearings seeking to create
safer conditions for those held in custody. Collaborating with the Southern Poverty Law Center, the University of Texas School of Law’s Civil Rights Clinic, and other groups, he has produced declarations on behalf of detainees in Immigration
and Customs Enforcement detention centers. He has been actively publishing in peer-reviewed journals, including The New England Journal of Medicine and the Lancet.
Professor Steven Johnson Receives the DOM COVID-19 Pandemic Leadership Response Team Award
This innovator award recognizes three responders in the department who were instrumental during the critical phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020.

Congratulations to Jennifer Doudna (who was at CU Boulder from 1991-1994) and Emmanuelle Charpentier on one of the most deserved Nobel Prizes ever. What a Year. Our ID Division scientists use CRISPR all the time now.
A killer pandemic virus, evidence-based cures from deeply creative basic research, amazing scientists. Perfect for 2020. Perfect for any year's prize.
Dr. Cindy Firnhaber and colleagues in South Africa report the outcome of a trial of HPV vaccination in women with HIV and high-grade cervical dysplasia
Women living with HIV often have larger, high-grade lesions (HSIL) or multifocal lesions resulting in incomplete removal of HSIL. Up to 50% of women living with HIV treated with after treatment with Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) had persistent or recurrent HSIL compared to 5-10% of HIV negative. The cervical cancer screening and treatment team at the Helen Joseph Hospital in Johannesburg implemented a double blinded placebo controlled randomized clinical trial in 180 HIV-1 infected women with biopsied proven HSIL. Women received the quadrivalent HPV vaccine at baseline, week 4 and 26 during the study. LEEP was done at week 4. The primary endpoint was a composite of HSIL on cervical histology or cytology at week 26 or week 52, and there were a number of secondary measures. The primary endpoint was not significantly different between the vaccine and placebo arms with cytologic or histologic HSIL. Thus, this study did not support HPV vaccination in this setting. Recurrent HSIL was high despite virologic suppression. This work highlights how earlier and improved access to cervical cancer screening and treatment is necessary to prevent the significant burden of cervical cancer in HIV infected women.
Dr. Andrés Henao-Martinez named Editor-in-Chief of Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Diseases. Andrés describes the focus of the journal and his goals:
"Therapeutic
Advances in Infectious Disease (TAI) - launched in 2013 - is a peer-reviewed open-access journal with a strong clinical and pharmacological focus. TAI delivers the highest quality peer-reviewed open access original research articles, reviews,
and scholarly comment on pioneering efforts and innovative studies in the medical treatment of infectious diseases. TAI welcomes original research articles across all areas of infectious disease. The journal publishes original research articles
and reviews articles primarily. Original research manuscripts may include laboratory, animal or human/clinical studies – all phases. Letters to the Editor and Case Reports are also considered. The journal is listed in PubMed and indexed
in Web of Science, Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) and Scopus). One of the goals as Editor-in-Chief is to increase the volume of submissions and to index the journal in Thomson Reuters' Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)".
Prisons, the Cycle of Despair, and COVID-19
The United States has extraordinarily high incarceration rates compared to other major developed countries. SARS-CoV-2 is a particularly destructive addition to a stew of correctional system factors that include extreme sentence durations, disproportionate impacts on racial minorities and other historically disadvantaged populations, resistance to paroling elderly individuals for whom recidivism risks are low, crowding, poor ventilation systems, inadequate preventive measures, lower quality medical care and limited treatment access. In The Lancet Infectious Diseases, multiple ID division members recently joined with The Sentencing Project to review the issues and make recommendations for systematic, rational decarceration policies to reduce morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. Dr. Franco-Paredes also gave Department of Medicine Grand Rounds on September 30 on “The Triumph of Despair: Health Inequities and Structural Racism”.
Dr. Haas and colleagues publish encouraging data on a new latent tuberculosis treatment strategy
Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) with short course regimens is now favored over longer traditional regimens such as daily INH for 9 months. Dr. Michelle Haas and her colleagues (Kaylynn Aiona, Kristine Erlandson and Robert Belknap) have now published their analysis of 2 different short course rifamycin-based LTBI regimens from their recent retrospective cohort study. The study was carried out at the Denver Metro Tuberculosis Clinic. They found that INH-rifapentine self-administered once weekly for 3 months (3HP-SAT) was associated with higher completion rates and fewer adverse events than daily rifampin for 4 (4R) months. Importantly, this finding was also seen among adults aged 50 and older in whom safer options for LTBI treatment are needed. They conclude that expanding 3HP-SAT may enhance tuberculosis prevention in the U.S.
Dr. Kristine Erlandson: 12 primary research papers so far in 2020 (and it’s still only September)
National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day is September 18. Physician-scientist Kristine Erlandson works on understanding physical function impairments in older adults with HIV and improving physical function and disability with physical activity. This work has expanded to encompass impacts of ART-associated weight gain. Among her numerous grants, her current R01 investigates the impact of statins on physical function and she and a co-PI recently received an R01 to investigate High-intensity Interval Training in older HIV patients. Her work in theses areas are highlighted by the following 2020 publications so far (these are half of the total of 12 this calendar year; see the rest in the Publications window). Congratulations to Kristine!

Women in the IDSA: Progress, Future Opportunities
In a recent commentary, Drs. Shanta Zimmer and Janet Gilsdorf review the history of gender disparities within the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) and describe progress toward
equity as well as next steps to maintain efforts with the goal of achieving healthier outcomes for patients. They note that women have played an increasing role since the formation of the IDSA Women’s Committee in 1992. Later task forces
have emphasized the importance of women and other unrepresented minorities, to the success of IDSA core missions. Ongoing efforts in the Society to maintain the presence of women and their unique talents, experiences, and understandings are
important.
Dr. Castillo-Mancilla’s Work on Quantifying Adherence to ART
Adherence to ART is central to quality HIV care and to the prevention of transmission. Dr. Jose Castillo-Mancilla has recently published a major study of five hundred and twenty-seven persons living with HIV (1150 person-visits).Working with a creative set of analytical methods that measure drug concentrations in dried blood spots,he and his colleagues determined patient characteristics that predict the concentrations of tenofovir diphosphate, the active anabolite to the antiretroviral agent tenofovir. This study complements previous analyses that have established the association of this adherence measure with viral suppression (PMID: 30137238) and its utility as a predictor of future viremia (PMID: 30942881) in PWH. Future research to incorporate these predictors into the interpretation of this ART adherence biomarker, and to establish whether these associations extend to PWH taking tenofovir alafenamide-containing ART are ongoing.
Dr. Esther Benamu Provides Expert Opinion on the Roles of JAK-STAT Inhibitors
JAK-STAT inhibitors are powerful immunosuppressive agents with good uses in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. They are also being studied intensively around the world for use in treating COVID-19-associated inflammation. Dr. Esther Benamu recently reviewed these drugs, along with complement (C5) inhibitors in Infectious Disease Clinics of North America.
Dr. Henao-Martínez and team publish outcome of an extensive systematic review and meta-analysis on the natural history of Chagas disease.
The study, published in JAMA Open Network, established a clear annual risk of cardiomyopathy among asymptomatic individuals in endemic regions. His team found a yearly rate of cardiomyopathy of approximately 5% among patients with acute Chagas infection and 2% among patients with indeterminate chronic Chagas disease. These findings promise to enforce the urgency to diagnose and treat early patients living with Chagas Disease. CU Anschutz News also covered this study in a recent press release.
Dr. Charles Dinarello and colleagues publish clinical trial results on IL-1 receptor blockade in COVID-19 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Dr. Dinarello discovered IL-1 as a key mediator of fever and he has gone on to develop therapeutics that block this important cytokine. Now he and colleagues in France report in PNAS that
anakinra, an IL-1 receptor antagonist, can ameliorate destructive hyper-inflammation in COVID-19.
Drs. Henao-Martínez and Franco-Paredes provide an important perspective on racial inequity and COVID19 in the New England Journal of Medicine
Andrés F. Henao-Martínez, MD and Carlos Franco-Paredes, MD, MPH, are co-authors of a perspective article, “Racial Disproportionality in Covid Clinical Trials,” published last Tuesday by The New England Journal of Medicine. Andrés, Carlos, and their co-authors call out the underrepresentation of minority groups in COVID-19 clinical trials, and in some cases the failure of some studies to disclose racial and ethnic data. “It is alarming that long-standing racial health disparities have been extended to Covid-19 clinical trials when racial and ethnic minority groups have so much to gain from this research, including the opportunity to receive lifesaving treatment,” the authors write.
Dr. Thomas Campbell appointed Chief Clinical Research Officer for UCH Health and Associate Dean of Adult Health Research
Thomas Campbell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the ID Division, has been named Chief Clinical Research Officer for UCHealth and Associate Dean of Adult Health Research. Tom has abundant experience with clinical trials, most recently for COVID-19 interventions, and is the site leader of the Colorado ACTU. He will be responsible for assuring an effective environment for conducting clinical research that complies with federal and state regulatory requirements. The position will foster infrastructure, processes, informatics and analytics to promote high quality UCH and University of Colorado clinical research. Tom succeeds Thomas Flaig, MD, professor of medicine in the Division of Medical Oncology, who was named the University’s Vice Chancellor for Research earlier this year. The division is delighted to see him take on this important role.
Supporting Dr. Fauci
The ID Division stands foursquare with Dean Reilly in his July 20th statement of principle on Dr. Anthony Fauci
and reiterates his call for commitment to science in the COVID-19 crisis and in all other infectious disease policy:
"The number of cases of COVID-19 has been rising significantly across the country and, while the numbers in Colorado have not been increasing as quickly as in other places, we have seen cases here trending upward. The trajectory is a cause for concern and a reminder
that we must remain diligent in our efforts to limit the spread of the coronavirus. It is also clear that willful ignorance and persistent efforts to divide us from one another are not solving the problem. At the Anschutz Medical Campus, we
are committed to the pursuit of evidence, the gathering of data, and the application of that knowledge to lead us to improved understanding of human health and better care for all. That is why the disparagement of Anthony Fauci, MD, director
of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is so alarming. He is one of our country’s leading champions of pursuing facts for the common good, and he has come under attack recently for doing his work with clear-eyed
purpose.
"With those attacks in mind, I encourage you to read a letter released last Tuesday, by Howard Bauchner, MD, editor in chief of JAMA and the JAMA Network,
stating in part: “As we have learned the coronavirus does not respect state lines – Maine or Alabama, or political parties – Republican or Democrat. The undermining of science – and the unprecedented attacks on scientists
and public health officials – risk lives in every corner of our country. . . . So to all who are reading this – wherever you live and whatever your political affiliation – please wash your hands, keep your distance from others
when appropriate, wear your masks, and please join me in showing respect for Dr. Anthony Fauci and his many colleagues at the NIH, CDC, and throughout the country who are our best hope in these challenging times.”
"It is disheartening
that such a plea needs to be made during the most widespread public health crisis of our lives, but Dr. Bauchner’s message is clear: science matters. You and your colleagues at the CU School of Medicine are also among those professionals
who are our best hope to get through these trying times. We must reject distractions, continue to guard against falsehoods, and remain focused on our common purpose: conquering the coronavirus as soon as possible so that we can pursue all
the other work on this campus that matters. The work you’re doing is too important to be discouraged or diverted. Thank you for your extraordinary efforts to improve our health and safety."

Sara Rowan, MD Featured in Colorado Public Radio News for her Recent Work on a Creative Portrait Series Honoring Women of Color on the Medical Front Lines
From Dean Reilly’s weekly message July 6, “CPR News featured Sarah Rowan, MD, assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases, in a recent report about finding a creative and meaningful way to take a break from the non-stop cycle of work our colleagues have been facing this year. Sarah, who practices at Denver Health and is an artist in her free time, was inspired to create art that features women of color who have been providing care in the time of COVID-19. She emailed friends at local hospitals, including Shanta Zimmer, MD, senior associate dean for education, associate dean for diversity and inclusion, and professor of medicine, to ask for selfies that could be turned into portraits, which are now featured on a specially created website, Women of Color on the Front Lines. “I hope that it serves as a visual representation that our society values women and racial diversity in medicine, and their commitment is worth recording with artwork,” Sarah said. “I hope that people feel honored and appreciated. I also feel hopeful that this will inspire young people to go into medicine, particularly young Black people or Latinx people.””
Dr. Charles Dinarello Awarded the 2020 Tang Prize
Dr. Charles Dinarello in the Division of Infectious Diseases has been awarded the 2020 Tang Prize in Biopharmaceutical Sciences. The prize was awarded for “the development of cytokine-targeting
