Have a Condition That Can Affect Breathing? What You Need to Know About COVID-19.

Dr. Jonathan Siner Honored with YM Quality and Safety Award

New research provides strong statistical support for the use of dynamic multidisciplinary discussion in the diagnosis of patients who may have interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) provided a diagnosis in 80% of referred cases when referring physicians couldn’t come up with one, and it changed the diagnosis in 41% of the other cases.

Dr Kaminski is the Boehringer Ingelheim Professor of Internal Medicine, Yale School and Chief of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at Yale. As a physician scientist, Dr Kaminski is known for his significant contributions to ILD research and respiratory medicine. He is considered a pioneer in the application of high throughput methods and systems biology to implement precision medicine approaches to pulmonary fibrosis research.

Naftali Kaminski, M.D., the Boehringer Ingelheim Endowed Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary), and chief of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, has been awarded the 2016 European Respiratory Society (ERS) Gold Medal in Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). He will receive the award and 50,000 euros at the ERS International Congress in September. Earlier this year, Kaminski was elected a fellow of the ERS.

Dr. Herzog is an associate professor at the Yale School of Medicine and director of the Yale Interstitial Lung Disease Center of Excellence. She is the recipient of an 2010 recipient of an ATS/Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis/Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Research Grant. Her award came at a critical time in her study of semaphorins, a class of proteins, in the development of IPF.

This award is given annually by the Department of Medicine for the individual whose passion for the science of medicine, intelligence, creativity, work ethic, and accomplishments exemplify the best of medical research and the physician scientist.
