SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds- 2023 Blythe Lecture Speaker: Dr. Jonathan Himmelfarb presents: "Kidney Precision Medicine”
DESCRIPTION:I have been an independently funded NIH investigator for over 30 years\, with a consistent focus on conducting clinical and translational research targeting the major complications of kidney disease\, a public health problem affecting 850 million people worldwide\, 37 million US adults\, and is the 10th leading cause of death in the US. In 2008 I became the inaugural Director of the Kidney Research Institute (KRI)\, Professor of Medicine\, and holder of the Joseph W. Eschbach M.D. Endowed Chair in Kidney Research at the University of Washington. The KRI was established with the mission to conduct research that can improve the lives of people living with kidney disease. Under my leadership\, the KRI has catalyzed kidney-disease related research across the entire University of Washington and nationwide\, obtaining over $200 million in aggregate extra-mural funding\, enrolling over 8000 participants in the registry and/or clinical studies of kidney diseases\, and generating over 1500 peer-reviewed research publications. The KRI has pioneered patient engagement efforts with the establishment of the Patient Advisory Committee\, in addition to an external Scientific Advisory Committee. I have continued with my own research including the development of a “kidney-on-a-chip” microphysiological system and leading the Central Hub and Chairing the Steering Committee for the Kidney Precision Medicine Project\, a top priority for the NIH/NIDDK. I have been conducting collaborative clinical research throughout my career\, and have participated as PI\, Co-I\, DSMB or EAC member of multiple NIH-sponsored cohort studies and clinical trials\, including PICARD\, DAC\, HFMC\, HDNT\, ASSESS-AKI\, Re-Building a Kidney\, Novel Biomarkers of Fibrosis\, ISCHEMIA-CKD\, the Kidney Precision Medicine Project\, and the NCATS Organs on Chips consortium. Up until recently\, I served as the Co-Principal Investigator for the UW Division of Nephrology T32 training grant.\nIn 2016\, I also co-founded and became co-Director of the UW Center for Dialysis Innovation (CDI). The CDI is currently developing and testing a series of novel and innovative technologies for dialysis\, and aligning these technologies with what matters most to patients\, culminating with a robustly and compactly designed portable and/or wearable dialysis system. CDI’s unique\, patient-oriented approach has been supported by the work of a Human Factors team\, to make sure our technology truly addresses the needs of the end user – the patient. The CDI has won multiple KidneyX prizes including in the artificial kidney and patient innovator competitions. The CDI-sponsored annual IDEAS conference has become the global centerpiece event for dialysis innovators\, stakeholders\, and patients to come together and share their work toward transforming dialysis.\nI have served on numerous study sections and grant review committees\, and scientific advisory boards and have held leadership positions in many national and international nephrology societies. I have been a member of the American Board of Internal Medicine Subspecialty Board on Nephrology\, a Councilor of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) and was President of the ASN in 2014-2015. I led efforts within ASN to create a roadmap for Diversity and Inclusion and was the inaugural co-Chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee. I have served on expert panels for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration\, Veterans Health Administration\, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and other organizations. I have served on numerous editorial boards and am the author of more than 350 peer-reviewed publications. In addition\, I have sponsored/mentored over 40 post-docs\, nephrology fellows and graduate students\, the majority of whom have gone on to successful academic careers. I have received a number of awards over my career; and in 2021\, the American Society of Nephrology conferred the Belding H. Scribner lifetime achievement award for ‘outstanding contributions that directly impact the care of patients with kidney diseases or have substantially changed the clinical practice of Nephrology’.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds: Dr. Myron Cohen presents "Monoclonal Antibodies in Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19: How did we get here and where are we going?"
DESCRIPTION:Myron Scott Cohen was born in Chicago\, Illinois in 1950. Dr. Cohen received his BS degree\, Magna Cum Laude\, from the University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana in 1971. He received an MD degree from Rush Medical College\, Chicago\, Illinois. He completed training in internal medicine at the University of Michigan\, and training in infectious diseases at Yale University. After working in 1979 in the Peoples Republic of China on Hemorrhagic Fever with Nephrosonephritis\, Dr. Cohen joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina in 1980. He rose to the rank of Professor over 10 years and served as the Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases from 1991 until 2019. He founded the UNC Institute for Global health and Infectious Diseases in 2007. Dr. Cohen has served as Co-PI of the NIH HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) since 2012 and as one of the founders and leaders of the NIH COVID Prevention Network (CoVPN) in 2020. Dr. Cohen is the Yeargan-Bate Eminent Professor of Medicine\, Microbiology and Immunology\, and Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. \n  \nFor three decades\, Dr. Cohen’s research has focused on the transmission and prevention of transmission of viral pathogens. Importantly\, Dr. Cohen led the development of laboratory methods to measure HIV in genital secretions\, as well as methods to determine the best antiviral agents to reduce replication of HIV in these compartments in men and women. Dr. Cohen served as Principal Investigator of the multinational HPTN 052 trial\, which demonstrated that antiretroviral treatment of people with HIV infection prevents the sexual transmission of the virus. This work was recognized by Science Magazine as the “Breakthrough of the Year” in 2011.  The results led immediately to worldwide changes in HIV treatment guidelines and HIV “treatment as prevention” (TASP) as the central strategy for reduction of transmission of HIV. Subsequently\, Dr. Cohen has led efforts to develop additional tools to prevent HIV acquisition including long-acting injectable antiviral agents and broad neutralizing antibodies. \n  \nSince onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, Dr. Cohen has worked on vaccines and monoclonal antibodies for prevention of COVID-19 as a leader of the NIH CoVPN. Dr. Cohen spearheaded a “proof of concept” study that demonstrated the Eli Lilly drug\, bamlanivimab\, could prevent COVID-19 in long term care facilities\, protecting a profusion of people at highest risk of serious symptoms and death.  He worked with Regeneron to show that the combination of antibodies called REGEN-COV prevented COVID-19 for five months after administration. \n  \nDr. Cohen is the author of more than six hundred publications and one book. Dr. Cohen is a Fellow of the American Society for Microbiology\, the American College of Physicians\, and the Infectious Disease Society of America. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine\, the American Society for Clinical Investigation\, and the American Association of Physicians. Dr. Cohen received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Rush Medical College in 2000. He received the Distinguished Career Award for lifetime achievement from the American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association in 2005. In 2008\, Dr. Cohen received the O. Max Gardner Award\, the highest honor in the University of North Carolina System. In 2013 Dr. Cohen received the Smadel Award from the Infectious Disease Society in recognition of his work in public health. Also in 2013\, Dr. Cohen received the Award for Science from the State of North Carolina\, its highest civilian honor.
