    Curriculum Vitae December, 2015 lVAN DIAMOND, M.D., Ph.D. Introduction I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. At 16, after my sophomore year at Abraham Lincoln High School, I took a special Ford Foundation examination which enabled me to attend the University of Chicago (U of C) (1951). I credit my education at U of C with teaching me how to think. After attending the U of C School of Medicine (1957 – 1961), and a medical internship at the New England Center Hospital (Tufts University), I completed a Neurology residency with Richard Richter at U of C (1962 - 65). As a resident in Neurology and as a postdoctoral fellow at U of C (1964 – 1967), I had the opportunity to train with Rudi Schmid, who was an awe-inspiring role model academic medicine and and a superb medical scientist. Rudi kindled my devotion to translational medicine. I elucidated the pathogenic mechanism by which unconjugated, unbound bilirubin crosses the blood-brain barrier to cause bilirubin encephalopathy in jaundiced babies (kernicterus), particularly in premature infants. This body of work became my PhD thesis with Ruth Rhines at U of C (1967). As the pathogenesis of bilirubin encephalopathy became clear to physicians, the use of albumin infusions and phototherapy to prevent this condition became widespread in newborn nurseries. I decided to further my education in basic science and was fortunate to be accepted as a postdoctoral fellow by Eugene P. Kennedy, Chair of Biological Chemistry at Harvard Medical School (1967 – 1969). Gene Kennedy was one of the most brilliant, formidable scientists at Harvard at the time.

    Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California J. Michael Bishop Scientist, UCSF Chancellor, and Nobel Laureate Interviews conducted by Sally Smith Hughes in 2016 and 2017 Copyright © 2017 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and J. Michael Bishop dated June 22, 2017. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • Rudi Schmid 1922–2007
    Rudi Schmid 1922–2007 A Biographical Memoir by Robert K. Ockner ©2013 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. RUDI SCHMID May 2, 1922–October 20, 2007 Elected to the NAS, 1974 Rudi Schmid was born in the small Swiss Alpine town of Glarus on May 2, 1922. He died in Kentfield, California, on October 20, 2007. The personal and professional life that spanned those two events was remarkable for its vigor, enthusiasm, personal warmth, and excellence in diverse pursuits. Rudi made lasting contributions to mountain athletics, biomedical research, teaching, and leadership. Most would consider their lives to have been fulfilled by just one of these accomplishments. For Rudi, the absence of any of them would have been unacceptable. His remarkable life is even more impressive upon closer examination. It is this writer’s honor and privilege to offer a brief biographical memoir of my friend and mentor, Rudi Schmid. By Robert K. Ockner Origins: the Alps, the Andes, and America Rudi’s birth in Glarus as the son of two practicing physicians placed him squarely in an environment that challenged him intellectually in the world of medicine and physically through the rigorous demands inherent in accessing the surrounding peaks. Heredity and environment thus combined early and uniquely to instill in him a lifelong devotion to science and inquiry, and to the year-round pursuit of mountain adventures. As a young man, he excelled in the latter arena, just as he was destined to excel years later in science and medicine.
