ArthurDISTINGUISHED S. MEDICAL Levine, EDUCATOR MD

Senior Vice Chancellor for the Health Sciences and the John and Gertrude Petersen Dean, University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences

Dr. Levine became Senior Vice Chancellor for the Health Sciences and Dean of the School of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh in 1998. The faculty of the University of Pittsburgh ranks fifth nationally in NIH research funding in 2008, and Dr. Levine has been instrumental in fostering the Universitys remarkable research trajectory.

He has focused his priorities on studies that exploit the vast amount of data emerging from the human genome project and on the newly emerging and powerful technologies that enable us to visualize the three-dimensional structures, locations, and interactions of the proteins encoded by genes as they exist at particular times in particular cells. With respect to education, Dr. Levine has initiated new mechanisms designed to enhance the recruitment and retention of talented students and trainees with the goal of helping to reverse the precipitous decline across the nation in the numbers of young physicians and other health science students embarking upon substantive careers in research and education.

Beyond his University responsibilities, Dr. Levine works closely with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), one of the largest academic medical centers in the U.S., to ensure that delivery, biomedical research, and education the three legs of the classic academic stool remain equally strong and well positioned for future growth.

Prior to his appointment to the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Levine served at the National Institutes of Health for more than three decades, having joined the National Cancer Institute in 1967. From 1982 to 1998, he was the Scientific Director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, widely recognized as one of the world’s leading centers in developmental biology.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Levine played a leading role in clinical research on childhood malignancies, and he was one of the first to carry out systemic investigations on the prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections in patients with cancer. He has also been engaged in molecular biologic research. He and his colleagues carried out the first physical and genetic mapping of SV40, a mammalian tumor virus. These investigators were also the first to work on naturally occurring viral recombinant DNAs, and the results provided an important source of information in the beginning of the recombinant DNA era. Dr. Levine continues to direct his own laboratory, which is focused on the molecular mechanisms that maintain the fidelity of the genome.

Dr. Levine, who has authored or co-authored more than 250 scientific publications, has been widely recognized for his achievements. He has chaired numerous national and international scientific meetings, been elected to membership in a number of the leading research societies and has held visiting professorships and distinguished lectureships at many universities here and abroad. Dr. Levine has served on the editorial boards of four scientific journals and was editor-in-chief of The New Biologist, a journal of cellular and molecular biology. He received the Meritorious Service and the Distinguished Service Medals of the United States Public Health Service, The Surgeon General’s Exemplary Service Medal, the NIH Director’s Award, and the Distinguished Alumnus Award and an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, Chicago, IL.
