Inaugural UofL symposium to highlight clinical and translational research geared toward the research community, academic and physician scientists, trainees, students, and allied health practitioners
Presenters:
Maxwell Boakye, MD, MPH, MBA, FACS, FAANS
Professor and Vice Chair of Neurosurgery, Ole A., Mabel Wise & Wilma Wise Nelson Endowed Chair, Chief of Spinal Neurosurgery, Director, Acting Co-Director, Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Center, Co-Director of UofL MD PhD and Physician scientist training programs and Co-Director Professional development Core, UofL CTR grant.
Kyle Brothers, MD, PhD
Chief Scientific Officer, Norton Children’s Research Institute (NCRI), Professor of Pediatrics, Endowed Chair of Pediatric Clinical & Translational Research, Chief, Division of Pediatric Clinical & Translational Research. Dr. Brothers is a pediatrician and bioethicist who conducts research on ethical issues in the translation of genomic technologies to clinical practice. He is a practicing primary care pediatrician and serves as a clinical ethics consultant at Norton Children's Hospital. He received his MD from the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He completed his residency training and chief residency in Pediatrics at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, and his PhD in Ethics and Society at Vanderbilt University.
Jon B. Klein, MD, PhD, FASN
Professor of Medicine, James Graham Brown Foundation Chair in Proteomics, Interim Executive Vice President of Research and Innovation, Director, Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, Principal Investigator of UofL CTR grant.
Naomi Bardach, MD
Dr. Bardach is a Professor of Pediatrics and Policy in the Department of Pediatrics and the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California San Francisco. She is Vice Chair of Health Services Research in the Department of Pediatrics. In recognition of her passion and capacity for mentoring, she received the UCSF Academic Senate Distinction in Mentoring Award for Associate Professors in 2020. Her research program is focused on improving the quality of inpatient and outpatient pediatric care, with a foundation in implementation and dissemination science. She is co-investigator on two of the AHRQ-funded U18 Pediatric Quality Measurement Program (PQMP) grants to support development and testing of pediatric quality measures. Clinical conditions of focus for those grants are asthma, sickle cell, mental health, and inpatient to outpatient transitions of care. As PI of an NICHD-funded R01, she is collecting reports on patient safety events from family and patients on the pediatric inpatient unit at the point of care and making those reports rapidly available to clinicians and quality improvement staff. Specific areas of interest for Dr. Bardach are quality measurement; the use of the measures in interventions such as, public reporting, internal quality improvement, and financial incentive programs, to drive better health outcomes for children and reduce disparities in care; and leveraging technology to integrate patient and caregiver voices into quality improvement efforts.
Kenneth Palmer, PhD
Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology, Co-Director of the UofL Medical School Clinician/Scientist Programand the Director of the University of Louisville Center for Predictive Medicine, which has state-of-the-art facilities for BSL-3 biocontainment research. His group is developing broad-spectrum antiviral strategies to prevent and treat emerging and re-emerging viral infections of public health concern, including highly pathogenic influenza and coronaviruses. Dr. Palmer is the Helmsley Charitable Trust Endowed Chair in Plant-based Pharmaceutical Research, which recognizes that the core products and technologies that drive his research program originate in plants or use plants as recombinant protein expression systems.
Steve Jones, PhD
Professor of Medicine and Director of the Center for Cardiometabolic Science.The Center houses the greatest concentration of cardiovascular investigators on campus. The Center has a history of excellence in integrative studies of cardiovascular function. The Center's investigators have expertise in the metabolic, immunologic, toxicologic, and fibrotic causes and consequences of cardiovascular health and disease.
Craig J. McClain, MD, AGAF, FACG, FAASLD, FACN
Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology & Toxicology, Chief of Research Affairs, Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Associate Vice President for Health Affairs/Research, Associate Vice President for Translational Research, Director, Clinical Trials Unit / Liver Research Program and Distinguished University Scholar.
