In addition to his clinical achievements, Kyriakos has left his mark on the field as a dedicated teacher. In that role, colleagues say, he exemplifies the high standard to which his surgical pathology trainees aspire. During his career, he has taught the aspects of general surgical pathology to his residents with emphasis not only on the fundamentals of tissue diagnosis, but also its impact on the patient. Kyriakos has held several leadership positions, including 10 years as director of the Washington University-Barnes Hospital School of Cytotechnology and 25 years as director of the Barnes Hospital Cytotechnology Laboratory. Kyriakos has published more than 120 papers and textbook chapters. In recognition of his contributions to musculoskeletal pathology, he has received the Founder’s Gold Medal, the Corrine Farrell Award of the International Skeletal Society, and the Henry L. Jaffe Gold Medal from the Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York. He was founding associate editor of the journal Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, a position he has held for the past 25 years. Kyriakos earned his bachelor’s degree in 1958 from the City College of New York and his medical degree in 1962 from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York. He completed his internship and residency in anatomic pathology at Barnes Hospital, and after two years as research associate at the National Institutes of Health, he trained in surgical pathology at Barnes Hospital under Lauren V. Ackerman, MD. He joined the faculty in 1967. 2 Daniel D. Picus, MD Distinguished Clinician Award D aniel D. Picus, MD, Vice Chair of Radiology, is recognized as a compassionate physician and national expert in interventional radiology. Picus founded the Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology in 1987, and as its chief, quickly led it to national prominence. The section interacts with nearly every clinical discipline and performs more than 1500 procedures a month. In 2001, Picus took on the leadership of the Division of Diagnostic Radiology. In that position, he still maintains a busy interventional radiology practice. Picus, a professor of surgery and of radiology, is well known as an unassuming and dedicated physician adept at assessing and solving complex issues. His expertise and innovations in the treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, biliary injuries and aortic endograft leaks are renowned nationwide. Colleagues report that his clinical approach is marked by outstanding judgment, unmatched technical skills, and an uncanny ability to thoroughly understand the patient. Also a dedicated educator, Picus has served as mentor to hundreds of residents, fellows, and junior staff. In that role, he stresses the need for interventional radiologists to evaluate patients at the bedside and to continually plan ahead to be prepared for every possible outcome. Last year he was awarded the Department of Radiology’s Teacher of the Year award. Picus earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois in 1977 and his medical degree from the University of Chicago in 1981. He began his residency at Washington University and served as chief resident. Picus completed fellowships in abdominal and interventional radiology before joining the faculty in 1986. He is highly sought after as a visiting professor, has held many editorial responsibilities, including editor of the Journal of Interventional Radiology, and has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles. He is nationally recognized as a Fellow of the American College of Radiology and the Society of Interventional Radiology. 3 Joan L. Rosenbaum, MD Distinguished Clinician Award J oan L. Rosenbaum, MD, professor of pediatrics, is considered the epitome of the outstanding academic physician through her advocacy, devotion and compassion for patients with complex, life-limiting issues. Rosenbaum is widely known for her clinical skill in caring for her patients and supporting their families. She is also dedicated to educating colleagues, trainees, and other health care professionals on how to be more effective in their care for these patients. Particularly inspired by her recent experience as a Kenneth B. Schwartz Fellow in Clinical Pastoral Education for Health Care Professionals at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Rosenbaum has developed several educational and clinical programs. She conducts monthly multidisciplinary rounds in the St. Louis Children’s Hospital neonatal intensive care unit about medically, socially, and ethically complex patients. In addition, she implemented Schwartz Center Rounds, a multidisciplinary, hospitalwide forum in which caregivers discuss difficult emotional and social issues that arise in caring for patients; the first Rounds exceeded the capacity of St. Louis Children’s Hospital’s auditorium. Rosenbaum also has initiated two selective courses for medical students — “Introduction to Newborn Medicine,” which links students with parents of sick children, and “Healer’s Art,” which strengthens the values of compassion, service, and healing. She recently produced a two-disc DVD entitled “Grieving in the NICU” featuring families sharing their personal stories of loss. Its purpose is to support grieving families and help health care providers understand firsthand how they can better care for these families. Rosenbaum earned her bachelor’s degree from Rice University in 1978 and her medical degree from the University of Texas in 1983, then came to St. Louis for her residency and neonatal-perinatal fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine and St. Louis Children’s Hospital. She joined the Washington University faculty in 1986. 4 Elbert P. Trulock, MD Distinguished Clinician Award E lbert P. Trulock, MD, the Rosemary and I. Jerome Flance Professor of Medicine, is a recognized world expert in the management of lung transplant patients and a highly regarded clinical educator at Washington University School of Medicine. A pioneer in the field of lung transplantation, Trulock was medical supervisor for one of the first successful lung transplants in 1988, performed at Washington University Medical Center. When the Lung Transplant Program was formally established later that year, he was its first director. Since that time, the program has performed more than 1,000 transplants, making it one of the world’s largest, and has achieved unrivaled clinical success. Colleagues report that Trulock is extraordinarily committed to the care of his patients and is much loved by them. In his career, Trulock’s extensive scholarly publications include many seminal contributions, and his articles are among the most highly referenced in the field. Many of his protocols are now widely adopted in transplant programs worldwide — a testament to his enduring impact on the field. In addition to his clinical expertise, Trulock is widely regarded as an expert clinical educator. He has trained many pulmonary physicians and serves as an outstanding mentor to cardiothoracic surgical fellows, teaching them the intricacies of pre- and postoperative management. He has been honored with the Clinical Teacher of the Year Award for the Washington University Medical Service at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and the Robert M. Senior Award. Trulock earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from Emory University in 1968, served five years in the Navy, then earned his medical degree from Emory in 1978. He then came to Washington University Medical Center to complete his medical training with an internal medicine internship and residency, pulmonary fellowship, and then chief residency. He joined the Washington University faculty in 1984 and became a professor in 1998. 5 Deborah C. Rubin, MD, AGAF Distinguished Educator Award Clinical Fellow Mentoring D eborah C.

Ladenson has helped establish three endowed professorships: the Oree M. Carroll and Lillian B. Ladenson Professorship in Clinical Chemistry, the Conan Professorship in Laboratory Medicine, and the Ladenson Professorship of Pathology. 12 Paul M. Allen, PhD Distinguished Investigator Award P aul M. Allen, PhD, Robert L. Kroc Professor of Pathology and Immunology, is a pioneering investigator known internationally for his seminal contributions to the understanding of how the immune system recognizes pathogens. Allen’s work laid an early foundation for elucidating the process of antigen presentation and antigen recognition by T cells. His laboratory pioneered the notion of altered peptide ligands and their function in T cell specificity, development, and immune responses. “Allen discovered many of the fundamental principles of peptideMHC protein interactions and found that peptides with minor sequence variations elicit altered signal-transduction patterns in T cells and markedly diverse T cell responses. These findings have changed our views on the dynamics of T cell receptor ligation,” says Emil R. Unanue, MD, Paul and Ellen Lacy Professor of Pathology and Immunology and former chair of the department. In addition, Allen has applied his basic science investigations to the important clinical areas of autoimmunity and transplantation, including developing critical disease models for autoimmunemediated arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. Three of Allen’s publications have been cited more than 1000 times, placing him in the highest level of recognition. One of his studies, co-authored with Unanue, has been selected as a Pillars of Immunology publication by the Journal of Immunology. Allen also leaves his mark on the field as a mentor to many graduate students; he directed the Graduate Program in Immunology for five years. Allen holds prestigious MERIT status with the National Institutes of Health and has served as president of the American Association of Immunologists. He earned his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, receiving the latter in 1981. After a pathology research fellowship at Harvard Medical School, he joined the Washington University faculty in 1985. 13 Emily Cheng, MD, PhD Distinguished Investigator Award E mily Cheng, MD, PhD, assistant professor of medicine and of pathology and immunology, is recognized as an extraordinarily talented young scientist in the area of apoptosis. Cheng earned her medical degree from Taipei Medical University and her PhD from Johns Hopkins University. As a graduate student, Cheng made several fundamental discoveries regarding the mechanisms by which BCL-2 family proteins regulate apoptosis. Her thesis yielded three first-authored papers in Nature, Science, and PNAS, as well as two co-first-authored papers in other leading journals. After completing her clinical training in anatomic pathology, Cheng joined the lab of the late Stanley J. Korsmeyer, MD, a renowned cancer biologist, at Harvard Medical School. She demonstrated that the critical step of cell death commitment converges on BAX/BAK activation, established a model in which anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family proteins inhibit apoptosis by sequestering BH3-only molecules, and identified a novel participant in apoptosis, VDAC2, as a negative regulator of BAK. Cheng joined the Washington University faculty in 2004 and remains at the forefront of cell death research. Studies from her laboratory (1) subdivided the BH3-only molecules into BAX/BAK “activator” or BCL-2/BCL-XL/ MCL-1 “inactivator” subgroups and established a unifying, hierarchical regulatory schema among BCL-2 subfamilies, (2) defined DNA damage-induced programmed necrotic death, (3) demonstrated a VDAC2-BAK rheostat in controlling thymocyte survival and negative selection, and (4) proposed a stepwise activation model of BAX/BAK in the initiation of mitochondrial apoptosis. Cheng’s research accomplishments have been recognized throughout her career. As a graduate student, she received the 20th Young Investigator Award at Johns Hopkins; as a postdoctoral fellow, she received the HHMI Physician Scientist Award and the NCI Howard Temin Award; and as a junior faculty member, she is a Searle Scholar, an American Cancer Society Scholar, and a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation. 14 Scott J. Hultgren, PhD Distinguished Investigator Award S cott J. Hultgren, PhD, the Helen L. Stoever Professor of Molecular Microbiology, is an internationally renowned investigator in the areas of bacterial pathogenesis, microbiology, infectious diseases, and women’s health. Hultgren earned his bachelor’s degree from Indiana University in 1981 and his doctoral degree from Northwestern University in 1987. He completed his training with a microbiology postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Umea in Sweden. He joined the Washington University faculty in 1989. Hultgren’s work has formed the basis for understanding how Escherichia coli (E. coli) cause infections. His work was instrumental in determining the molecular details of the chaperone-usher pathway by which adhesive fibers, critical to infections, are elaborated on the surface of gram-negative bacteria. Further, he has contributed seminal findings establishing a new paradigm for recurrent urinary tract infections. His work has led to new and innovative technologies for diagnosis and treatment of these infections. Hultgren has also excelled as a mentor to 20 doctoral students and 21 postdoctoral fellows, who have moved on to leading industry and academic positions around the world. He also has served as coursemaster of the first-year Microbes and Pathogenesis course and was honored as Coursemaster of the Year in 2002. He received the Academic Women’s Network Faculty Mentor Award in 2007. In recent years, he has become a national force in women’s health, particularly in infectious diseases. He has contributed to several national efforts to move research forward in this area and has established the Center for Women’s Infectious Disease Research. Hultgren has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He holds five R01 awards and an ARRA Challenge grant, has received an NIH Merit Award, and is the program director of a Specialized Center of Research (P50) grant.
