Evan Dellon<\/a>, MD, MPH, professor of medicine, was recognized as a Top Ten Clinical Research Achievement Awardee for his study titled \u201cAnti-Selig-8 Antibody for Eosinophilic Gastritis and Duodenitis,\u201d which was\u00a0published<\/a>\u00a0in the\u00a0New England Journal of Medicine<\/em>\u00a0last fall.<\/p>\n
