Albert Reece, MD, PhD, MBA, who had championed the thought of a caller encephalon probe institute earlier stepping down arsenic dean and returning to the UMSOM module successful August.
The Institute volition enlistee caller endowment to field and leverage the much than 120 starring neuroscientists astatine UMSOM nether 1 umbrella and elevate the prominence of UMSOM’s basal and objective subject probe portfolio.
Funds supporting UM-MIND were provided done a concern between Dean Gladwin and section chairs, including Victoria Marchese, PhD, PT, the Jane Kroh Satterfield Professor of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science and Chair of the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science, Peter Crino, MD, PhD, Dr. Richard and Kathryn Taylor Endowed Professor and Chair of Neurology; Graeme Woodworth, MD, Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery, and Jill RachBeisel, MD, Dr. Irving J. Taylor Professor and Chair of Psychiatry.
Collaboration and enactment of further chairs and programme directors astatine the UMSOM, each of whom are neuroscientists, were indispensable for forming UM-MIND including: Dr. McCarthy of Pharmacology, Elias Melhem, MD, Dean John M. Dennis Chair of Radiology; and Asaf Keller, PhD, the Dean Donald E. Wilson, MD, MACP, Professor and Chair of Anatomy and Neurobiology.
UM-MIND volition leverage partnerships with programs astatine neighboring institutions specified arsenic the U.S. Veteran’s Administration’s Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC), the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and the University of Maryland, College Park to further probe collaboration and acquisition opportunities successful encephalon sciences.
