School of Medicine researchers receive major awards
Roberto Bolli and Donald Miller
Two prominent researchers at the University of Louisville School of Medicine have received major awards.
Roberto Bolli, chief of the division of cardiology and professor of medicine in physiology and biophysics, has been selected as a Merit Award winner by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
The award is designed to provide long-term support to investigators who are deemed by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute to have demonstrated superior research potential. Bolli has received a 10-year, $4.6 million grant from the organization.
Since Bolli's arrival at UofL in 1994, the cardiology division has received $23.4 million in NIH or American Heart Association grant funding for research.
Donald M. Miller, director of the James Graham Brown Cancer Center and associate vice president for health affairs, has been awarded the Founders' Medal by the Southern Society for Clinical Investigation.
The SSCI was formed in 1946 to encourage research in the various medical sciences and the establishment of a forum from which new ideas may be presented.
Miller received the award in March at the SSCI annual meeting in New Orleans.
