Hopkins scientists awarded honors and elected to AAP
Issue date: 2/21/08
Two Hopkins scientists were recently awarded with high honors for their contributions to medicine when they were elected members of the Association of American Physicians.
The AAP's newest members include researchers Gregg L. Semenza, director of the program in vascular cell engineering in the Institute for Cell Engineering (ICE), professor of pediatrics and member of the McKusick-Nathan Institute of Genetic Medicine, and Ted Dawson, co-director of the neuroregeneration program in ICE and professor of neurology and neuroscience.
In Semenza's lab at Hopkins medical school, he studies the molecular physiology of blood vessel growth and the remodeling of vascular systems in cardiovascular disease, as well as cancer.
Dawson's research involves the molecular basis of neurodegeneration. He studies this with a particular interest in instances of various neurodegenerative diseases.
His team has also been studying potential new innovations for neuroprotective and neurorestorative strategies with particular interest in Parkinson's disease patients.
As a non-profit organization, the AAP was founded in 1885 by seven doctors with the goal of encouraging continued progress in the field of medicine and medical research.
