The ONR handles the science and technology programs of the US Navy and Marine Corps. Divers, submariners, and indi- viduals ascending to altitude may face a range of medical issues related to dissolved (or undissolved) gases. These in- clude decompression illness, N2 narcosis, O2 toxicity, CO2 narcosis, and hypoxia. Thus, the ONR has a strong and longstanding interest in gas transport. The Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Case West- ern Reserve University is one of the few in the world that stud- ies physiological problems from the level of the atom—through molecules, cellular organelles, whole cells, tissues, and or- gans—to the whole organism. We focus on the nervous, car- diovascular, and renal systems. In the past few years, we have recruited eight outstanding new faculty members. In addition, we completed a major renovation of about 40,000 gross square feet of space. We have also established three major core facilities to support our work: A Protein Expression, Purification, and Crystallization Core (PEPCC, 5th floor), a Molecular Biophysics Core (6th floor), and a Mouse Physio- logical Phenotyping Core (MPPC, basement).

  • Gerhard Giebisch and the Gift of Mentorship Peter S. Aronson
    Kidney360 Publish Ahead of Print, published on July 21, 2020 as doi:10.34067/KID.0004402020 Gerhard Giebisch and the Gift of Mentorship Peter S. Aronson Departments of Internal Medicine and of Cellular and Molecular Physiology Yale University School of Medicine New Haven, Connecticut, USA Correspondence: Peter S. Aronson Section of Nephrology Yale School of Medicine P.O. Box 208029 New Haven, CT 06520-8029 Email: [email protected] Copyright 2020 by American Society of Nephrology. Gerhard Giebisch, M.D., one of the giants of renal physiology, died on April 6th, 2020, at 93 years of age. He was widely known and admired for his many groundbreaking scientific accomplishments, and was beloved for his wonderful personal qualities as an academic leader, educator, advisor, friend and mentor. Indeed, Gerhard’s life exceptionally well illustrates the enduring gift of mentorship, from the mentors who critically impacted his life, to his own role as a legendary mentor to dozens of trainees. As the present tribute will provide only a brief summary of his biography, it is strongly recommended to access Gerhard’s own written1, 2 and video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PiuL51OA1Q) accounts of his life to learn more about this truly remarkable man. Gerhard was born in 1927 in Vienna, Austria, where he was raised and attended elementary and high school. His first mentors were his parents, neither of whom had a background in science or medicine. His father was a high school teacher of German and French literature, who had a special interest in history, and his mother had a love of literature and music.
