dean’s message 

S 

ince 1807, the University of Maryland School of Medicine has continuously 

evolved to meet the challenges of remaining innovative in teaching, 

clinical care, research and community engagement. As the state’s only 

public medical school, we play a crucial role in the health care of the citizens 

of Maryland and beyond. More than two centuries of hard work and 

creativity by our dedicated faculty, staff, trainees and ardent supporters has 

secured for the school a place in the top-tier of American medical schools. 

While celebrating our successes of the past and present, we must prepare 

for the future, and we must strive to build on our achievements and 

move to the next level of distinction. To that end, we recently published 

our 2010–2015 strategic plan entitled Taking a Quantum Leap Forward, 

which sets forth a series of road maps that will catapult us to even greater 

success. 

Our goal is to improve our already strong performance in the mission 

areas of education, research, clinical care and community outreach and 

service, as well as our emphasis areas of finance, philanthropy, information 

technology and public affairs. There is a wealth of opportunity available 

to us in the years ahead, and it is important that we remain inspired by our 

values and vision and energized by our past accomplishments. 

The innovative road maps within our strategic plan will help us create 

an even more educationally rich and nurturing environment for our students; 

lead us to a better understanding of diseases in order to increase discoveries which translate into 

better health for our communities; develop more interdisciplinary clinical centers of excellence; and 

engage our constituencies to better help them 

There is a wealth of opportunity available to us in the years 

ahead, and it is important that we remain inspired by our 

values and vision and energized by our past accomplishments.

achieve and maintain very good health and 

well-being. 

It was a challenging task to put together 

a road map for our future when our present 

has, at times, seemed so uncertain. The 

economic turbulence in Maryland and across 

the nation—indeed throughout the world—certainly has been felt at our school. However, we have 

set our sights on better days ahead, and, by implementing this strategic plan, I believe we will take a 

quantum leap forward to achieve these transformative goals. 

Highlights from each of our mission area road maps include: 

EDUCATION 

Increase individual learning opportunities within the curriculum to maximize student participation 

in high quality research and increase opportunities to participate in community service activities 

RESEARCH 

Launch new major collaborative, multidisciplinary, extramurally-funded programs that will study 

broad and complex conditions 

CLINICAL CARE 

Launch new multidisciplinary centers of excellence and destination programs for disorders associated 

with high morbidity and mortality 

COMMUNITy ENgAgEMENT 

Promote community service and outreach as a valued and rewarded academic activity and create a 

recognition plan to publicly acknowledge outstanding community engagement 

Our strategic plan was very much a group effort, and as such I very much encourage alumni and 

friends to take a vested interest in this innovative plan and to join us as we take this quantum leap 

together.

Alumni Can View Classroom Lectures On-Line 

EvENTS 

The University of Maryland School of Medicine 

is recognized for its excellent education, 

taught by a plethora of outstanding educators. 

Now, many of the lectures and seminars 

taught to medical students can be viewed 

by alumni as well, thanks to an effort by the 

Medical Alumni Association which has been 

warmly received and supported by the medical school. 

The idea was first proposed by Rick Taylor, ’75. The 

Taylor family has generously contributed to the education 

of Maryland medical students in multiple ways, including 

financial support for the modern renovation of 

the freshman lecture hall now bearing the Taylor name. 

Gary D. Plotnick, ’66, professor of medicine, former 

assistant dean for student affairs, and member of the 

MAA Board of Directors is coordinating the effort. He 

is the ideal candidate, having received nine gold apple 

awards and seven student 

council faculty teaching 

awards. Plotnick, too, believes 

the project is long overdue. 

Ten years ago, after becoming 

co-director of the sophomore 

pathophysiology and therapeutics 

course, he sat through 

most of the lectures presented 

during a six-month period. 

“As a clinician, listening 

to these presentations 

and once again hearing basic 

concepts as well as the new 

discoveries was a refreshing 

and wonderful experience,” 

Plotnick said. “The thought of 

making these classes available 

to alumni—to enrich our 

professional careers—seemed 

“Our faculty has been overwhelmingly 


enthusiastic about it,” Plotnick added. “In 

fact, most are flattered 

” 

by the invitation 

to participate. 

like a wonderful idea, one that would be enthusiastically 

embraced.” 

Here’s how it works: lectures to the freshmen and 

sophomore medical students in the Taylor Lecture Hall 

are recorded, and a file is created. The faculty members 

are asked if they will permit their presentations to be 

placed on the MAA website (www.medicalalumni.org) 

and made available for viewing by dues-paying members 

of the association who agree to abide by copyright and 

other intellectual property guidelines. 

“Our faculty has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic 

about it,” Plotnick added. “In fact, most are flattered by 

the invitation to participate.” 

To date, permission has been granted for more than 

300 lectures delivered to first- and second-year students. 

Topics include anatomy, genetics, immunology, physiology, 

pharmacology, biochemistry, infectious diseases, and 

pathophysiology. In ad- 

dition, there are lectures 

on various topics such as 

statistics and epidemiology, 

domestic abuse, 

geriatric assessment, and 

newer aspects of cardiopulmonary 

resuscitation. 

The MAA currently 

has some 50 lectures 

available for viewing. 

Members paying dues 

beginning July 1 have 

access for 365 days from 

the time payment is 

received. Lectures will 

be added each year, and 

also available are historical 

presentations from 

former faculty, including 

the late Theodore E. 

Woodward, ’38.

Improving Cognition 

FOR THE FIRST TIME, scientists have linked 

a brain compound called kynurenic acid to cognition, 

possibly opening doors for new ways to enhance 

memory function and treat catastrophic brain diseases, 

according to a Maryland study. When researchers 

decreased the levels of kynurenic acid in the brains of 

mice, their cognition was shown to improve markedly, 

according to the study, which was published in the July 

issue of the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. The study 

is the result of decades of pioneering research in the lab 

of Robert Schwarcz, PhD, professor of psychiatry, pediatrics 

and pharmacology and experimental therapeutics. 

“We believe that interventions aimed specifically 

at reducing the level of kynurenic acid in the brain 

are a promising strategy for cognitive improvement in 

both healthy individuals and in those suffering from a 

variety of brain diseases ranging from schizophrenia to 

Alzheimer’s disease,” says Schwarcz. 

Kynurenic acid is a substance with unique biological 

properties and is produced when the brain metabolizes 

the amino acid L-tryptophan. The compound is related 

to another breakdown product of tryptophan known as 

quinolinic acid. In 1983, Schwarcz published a paper in 

the journal Science identifying the critical role excessive 

quinolinic acid plays in the neurodegenerative disorder 

Huntington’s disease. He has since designed a therapeutic 

strategy targeting quinolinic acid for the treatment 

of Huntington’s disease. Schwarcz also is involved in a 

company called vistagen, which pursues the development 

of neuroprotective drugs based on this concept. 

In the study published in July, 

Schwarcz and his colleagues at 

the Maryland Psychiatric Research 

Center examined mice 

that had been genetically engineered 

to have more than 70 percent 

lower kynurenic acid levels 

than ordinary mice. These mice 

were found to perform significant- 

Robert Schwarcz, PhD 

ly better than their normal peers 

on several widely used tests that 

specifically measure function in the hippocampus—a 

critical area of the brain for memory and spatial navigation. 

The mice were clearly superior in their ability to 

explore and recognize objects, to remember unpleasant 

experiences and to navigate a maze. The engineered 

animals also showed increased hippocampal plasticity, 

meaning they had a greatly improved ability to convert 

electrical stimuli into long-lasting memories. 

“These results are very exciting because they open 

up an entirely new way of thinking about the formation 

and retrieval of memories,” says Schwarcz. “Kynurenic 

acid has been known for more than 150 years, but only 

now do we recognize it as a major player in one of the 

fundamental functions of the brain. Our most recent 

work, still unpublished, shows that new chemicals that 

specifically influence the production of kynurenic acid 

in the brain predictably affect cognition. We are now in 

the process of developing such compounds for cognitive 

enhancement in humans.”

More Variation in Human 

Genome than Expected 

S 

cientists are finding more variation in the 

human genome than they had previously expected, 

now that new technologies are allowing 

researchers a closer look at the genomes of 

many individuals, according to a new study by 

Maryland researchers. The study, published in 

the June 25 issue of the journal Cell, is one of 

the first to take an in-depth look at transposons, 

known as “jumping genes.” 

Transposons are segments of DNA that can replicate 

themselves—meaning that each generation of a 

human family has more transposons in its genome than 

its ancestors—and move to new sites in each individual 

person’s genome. The researchers examined the 

genomes of 76 people and found that new occurrences 

of transposons were surprisingly prevalent. 

“A key part of this study was that we developed new, 

next-generation sequencing and informatics technologies 

that allowed us to look at these variants for the first 

time in many human 

genomes,” says Scott E. 

Devine, PhD, associate 

professor and research 

scientist at the school’s 

institute for genome 

sciences.

spans. In this study, we’re looking 

at transposons that insert themselves 

in new places in various genomes and disrupt the 

blueprint.” 

Devine continues: “Some transposons do not seem to 

have a serious impact on the genome, but several dozen 

transposon insertions have been identified that have 

caused human disease by disrupting genes,” says Devine, 

who first began research for this study while on the 

faculty at Emory University. “We think this is just the 

tip of the iceberg,” 

“We saw for the first time that new transposon insertions 

are happening 

at a high frequency in 

each person’s genome,” 

Devine continues. “We 

found that if you have 

a child, the child could 

have one or more new 

copies of these transposons 

that you don’t 

have. From these findings, 

we predict that there is going to be more variation 

in human genomes than scientists first believed.” 

The transposons found in lung cancer tumor 

genomes had never been seen before, and could have 

significance for oncology research. “The mutations 

could possibly be causing cancer or tumor progression,” 

Devine explains. Technological advances in DNA sequencing 

have made it possible to examine transposons 

in greater detail, Devine adds, and also have cut the 

cost of sequencing a human genome from millions of 

dollars just a few years ago to as little as $10,000 now. 

The research was funded by the National Human 

genome Research Institute, part of the National Institutes 

of Health, the American Cancer Society and Sun 

Microsystems.

A Medical Labyrinth: the Plot Thickens 

I suspect that not even Phil Mackowiak, 

’70, creator of Maryland’s popular historical 

clinicopathological conference could have 

foreseen the consequences when he invited 

me to present the history of Simon Bolivar, 

the liberator of South America, at his 17th 

conference on April 30. 

Simon Bolivar was chosen as a subject 

because there has been considerable controversy 

not only as to the cause of his death 

but also regarding the medical bona fide of 

the doctor who treated him. Bolivar is the 

national hero of venezuela, and President 

Hugo Chávez had already set up a team 

to investigate the cause of Bolivar’s death; 

so when he became aware of Mackowiak’s 

conference he sent his representatives to 

Baltimore. 

Based on my research into Bolivar’s 

medical history, Paul g. Auwaerter, MD, 

MBA, FACP, specialist in infectious 

diseases at Johns Hopkins and clinical 

discussant at the conference, came up with 

the suggestion that at least some of Bolivar’s 

terminal symptoms could have been 

the result of arsenic given as part of the 

medication for Bolivar’s repeated attacks of 

malaria. This gave rise to great excitement 

in certain quarters in venezuela because 

this was thought to lend credence to the 

idea that Bolivar might have been deliberately 

poisoned. 

I am now in close contact with members 

of President Chávez’s investigation team 

and was recently invited to Caracas to take 

part in the celebrations in relation to venezuela’s 

200th anniversary of independence

and the anniversary of Bolivar’s birthday 

on July 24. 

Under conditions of proper scientific 

rigour Bolivar’s tomb has now been opened, 

and the few scraps of bone and teeth are 

at present being evaluated. The scientific 

study of the few remains from the tomb 

will take some months. The first point to 

be established is as to whether or not there 

will be sufficient material for DNA analysis 

because it will need to be established as 

to whether or not the remains are indeed 

those of Simon Bolivar. The reason for 

this is that prior to Bolivar’s body being 

transferred to venezuela and while it was 

still lying in Santa Marta, Colombia, there 

was a major earthquake, and the burial urns 

were all jumbled up. It was announced in 

Caracas that the tomb of Bolivar’s sister, 

Maria Antonia, will be opened so that 

DNA comparisons can be carried out. 

Through my liaison with the investigation 

team in Caracas, I am working towards 

setting up a major international 

conference in 

Caracas in 2011 at which 

we should be able to come 

to as definitive a decision 

as possible regarding how 

Bolivar died.

Global HealtH 


By Rita M. Rooney 

Behind every triumph is motive, the incentive that drives heroism, builds 

cities, and saves the lives of children in far-flung places. Maryland faculty, 

active in 23 developing countries across six continents, share a common incentive—to 

fight the catastrophic diseases affecting the most impoverished 

people in the world. Their combined track record of success places them 

among the first and foremost of those responding to the call of global medicine. 

Theirs is the kind of success that is powered by 

deep, personal concern that their work will make a 

difference. They cheerfully tackle stifling heat, Monsoon 

rain, and distance from family, and talk instead of 

camaraderie among colleagues and the satisfaction of 

being part of the team.

On another part of the medical school campus, the center for vaccine 

development (CvD) was founded in 1974 (long before the phrase “global 

health” was coined), and has since expanded its presence throughout 

the world, developing and testing vaccines against devastating diseases 

worldwide. 

Myron M. Levine, MD, the Simon and Bessie grollman Distinguished 

Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Epidemiology & Public Health, and 

Microbiology & Immunology, who heads the CvD, reports on a recent 

historic initiative—the global Enterics Multi-Center Study (gEMS)— 

targeting severe and moderately severe diarrhea, one of the two top causes 

of death (along with pneumonia) among young children in developing 

countries. 

“The study is conducted in seven sites in Africa and Asia.” Levine says. 

“We have put together a consortium of the world’s major players in the 

diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diarrheal disease. This study may

well be the largest prospective case/control study of a communicable 

disease syndrome ever carried out.” 

Designed by the CvD and funded in its entirety by the 

Bill and Melinda gates Foundation, gEMS implements 

an identical protocol in all seven sites. Children up to 59 

months of age are studied to find pathogens causing the 

disease. Karen Kotloff, MD, professor of pediatrics and 

medicine, reports the study aims to resolve the many gaps 

that exist in medical literature. 

“We’re looking at multiple pathogens so we can identify 

those causing the largest disease burden among children 

in developing countries,” she says. “In different settings, 

pediatric ages and times of the year, diarrheal illness can be 

caused by different pathogens. To guide the development 

of the most critically needed vaccines to prevent the disease, 

it’s necessary to prioritize the most important causes. 

“gEMS looks for a wide range of pathogens among 

children with severe diarrhea, and compares results with 

the isolation of those pathogens from children of the same 

age from the same community 

without diarrhea. Then using 

conservative statistical methods, 

the results are analyzed 

to determine the fraction of 

diarrhea that can be attributed 

to any one specific germ.” 

She adds that all sites will 

have completed enrollment for 

the study by March 2011. “It 

is our intent to analyze results 

quickly and share them with 

the scientific community as 

soon as possible,” she says. 

Vaccine Progress 

Levine says vaccinology didn’t 

exist as a medical discipline 

when the center opened 36 

years ago. Since then the CvD 

has gained an international 

reputation for developing and 

testing its own candidate vaccines, 

as well as for conducting 

clinical evaluation and 

field trials on vaccines made 

by other investigators, and 

for measuring the burden of 

specific infectious diseases in 

many developing countries. 

Development of a vaccine 

is only the first step of an 

uncertain enterprise, followed 

by understandable delays in 

approval and licensing. The 

real problem, according to Levine, is finding a manufacturer 

willing to take on production of a preventive product, 

destined for use by poor people in developing countries. 

Levine speaks with the knowledge of having cholera and 

typhoid vaccines sitting on a shelf at the CvD. 

“Manufacturers need to make a profit,” he says. “There 

has to be a predictable market for the product as well as 

need driven by the disease. When you’re developing vaccines 

for diseases affecting populations in the U.S. or Europe, 

that isn’t a problem. It’s quite different when the drug 

or vaccine is one not in need in the industrialized world.” 

In the 1970s and 1980s, typhoid fever was highly 

endemic in Santiago, Chile. In field trials designed and 

supervised by Levine over a period of 12 years, more than 

500,000 Chilean school children participated in the field 

trials that documented the safety, practicality and efficacy 

of a live, oral typhoid vaccine (ty21a). Results of those 

field trials led to licensure of the vaccine by the FDA. 

Because three or four doses of Ty21 were needed to 


stimulate an accepted level of long-lived protection against 

typhoid, Levine and colleagues went on to develop a more 

potent, single dose live oral vaccine, strain CvD 909. In 

addition, the CvD team, led by Levine, has developed a 

live, oral vaccine candidate, strain CvD 1902, to prevent 

paratyphoid fever—a disease that is clinically identical to 

typhoid fever—and that is increasingly caused by germs 

that are resistant to antibiotics. CvD 1902 is in early clinical 

trials. The research team at CvD has a Salmonella vaccine 

in early clinical trials and also has received an NIH 

grant to develop a vaccine targeting 

non-typhoidal Salmonella, a problem 

in both developing and industrialized 

countries. 

CvD 103-HgR, the first geneticallyengineered 

live oral vaccine of any 

kind, was developed at the CvD and, 

following extensive testing worldwide, 

was licensed as a single dose cholera 

vaccine by many countries. However, the manufacturer of 

the vaccine had financial problems that led to a disruption 

in production. A new company is gearing up to produce it, 

and hopefully to obtain FDA approval. 

James Kaper, PhD, professor and chair of the department 

of microbiology and immunology, is the CvD faculty 

member who did the basic science on CvD 103-HgR. The 

NIH MERIT awardee points out its value in requiring only 

one dose. 

“There was an outbreak of cholera in Micronesia while 

the vaccine was commercially 

available, and the World Health 

Organization (WHO) used our 

vaccine to curb the outbreak,” he 

says. “The only other licensed oral 

cholera vaccine requires two doses. 

When you are facing an outbreak 

of cholera that is rapidly sweeping 

through a population, you need to 

stop it fast—with just one dose.” 

Mission Against AIDS 

Nigeria, which has the largest population 

in sub-Saharan Africa, has 

the second highest HIv infection 

rates in the world, and ranks 5th in 

the world for tuberculosis. William 

Blattner, MD, professor of medicine, 

and epidemiology & public health, 

who heads IHv’s Nigeria project, 

calls it “a deadly alliance between 

HIv and multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis.” 

PEPFAR and Centers for 

Disease Control grants William Blattner, MD 

are funding IHv’s million dollar laboratory complex in 

Nigeria, needed to diagnose this fatal form of TB that can 

only be diagnosed safely in such a laboratory. Determining 

the frequency is the first step in stopping the spread to 

the already compromised HIv population in Nigeria, and 

to ensure that additional medications are provided in a 

structured environment. 

With 139 prevention sites, and its work with 42 community-based 

organizations, the impact of IHv’s presence 

in Nigeria reaches 150,000 people who are receiving care, 

With 139 prevention sites, and its work with 42 

community-based organizations, the impact of IHV’s 

presence in Nigeria reaches 150,000 people who are 

receiving care, and 97,000 in treatment since 2005. 

and 97,000 in treatment since 2005. Beyond treatment, 

preventing mother-to-child transmission is an important 

focus in which, without intervention, one in three children 

can become infected and many more orphaned. 

Recent transitioning of the PEPFAR program has 

broadened its mandate beyond the focus of HIv-AIDS to 

women’s health, malaria, TB, and cancer. Blattner reports 

that the institute is adapting its own plans to accommodate 

changes in PEPFAR. “We are collaborating on several 

fronts with medical school investigators in other disciplines 

in an effort to tap into 

some of these resources and 

increase our services in Nigeria 

and elsewhere,” he says. 

He reports that there is 

ongoing work with the department 

of neurology to determine 

the impact of the HIv 

virus on the brain. As a result 

of a spiraling incidence of 

cervical cancer in Nigeria, the 

IHv is collaborating with the 

IHv-greenebaum Cancer Center’s 

viral oncology program. 

One might expect that 

people who spend weeks in 

impoverished countries, fighting 

communicable diseases that 

have the strength to kill, would 

take a somber approach to their 

work. Blattner, however, calls it 

inspirational. He has taken his 

family to Nigeria on several occasions. 

His son, a recent college 

graduate, volunteers. His

wife travels to the site, and is part of a support group, the 

Hope for West Africa Foundation. Even Blattner’s church 

has sent a contingent of people to help, and independent 

of the IHv, raised $120,000 for the local hospital there. 

“There is a very positive impact in what we are doing 

in Nigeria,” Blattner says. “you don’t have to be an MD or 

PhD to want to be part of it. Our COO, Dave Wilkins, periodically 

takes a team to Nigeria to evaluate the financial 

methods used by our Nigerian partners, and provide any 

help they may need.” 

Education Key 

In both Africa and the Caribbean, Robert Redfield, MD, 

professor of medicine, and IHv division head, focuses on 

furthering the work of the institute through education, specifically 

advanced training of health care providers native 

to the region who work in local clinics and hospitals. He 

explains the program works in several ways. 

“We’re training local health providers,” he says. “We 

also have a repatriation program, in which we are identifying 

highly trained African physicians, now working in the 

US, and encouraging them to return to Africa. We also 

Robert Redfield, MD 

are providing training in internal medicine and infectious 

diseases to African physicians.” 

Doctors, especially those in leadership roles, are critically 

needed in local clinics and hospitals. Redfield notes 

those who train in Africa and then come to the US to 

practice, as well as those who train here and remain, are 

not entirely motivated by lifestyle or income. 

“Many of these physicians have a sense of deep loyalty 

to their homeland,” he says. “They come to the US and 

Europe to practice because they don’t have the technology 

in their own country, and because there is limited opportunity 

for advanced clinical training in their homeland.” 

The ways in which the institute is helping to provide 


such training in infectious diseases to doctors in rural areas 

of Africa and the Caribbean are both creative and effective. 

Redfield highlights the story of a young physician who 

graduated from medical school and was mentored in clinical 

medicine by IHv staff in Kenya. The young physician is 

a medical resident and soon will complete a fellowship in 

infectious diseases. After that, he will return to Nairobi to 

provide clinical leadership and train the next generation 

of Kenyan doctors in infectious diseases in his homeland, 

thereby breaking the cycle of need for physicians to leave 

the country to receive advanced clinical education. 

“So far, our educational efforts have placed highly 

trained infectious disease specialists in Kenya, Nigeria, and 

Zambia,” Redfield says. 

In fact, African physicians now are leading IHv’s clinical 

education efforts in Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, 

and Zambia. Another phase of clinical training is IHv ’s 

assertive progress in establishing strategic alliances with key 

institutions which will become sources for faculty recruitment. 

For example, in Zambia, in partnership with the 

University of Zambia, IHv and Zambian faculty teamed 

together three yeas ago to create a one-year advanced clinical 

training program in HIv, TB, and malaria. 

“We are on target in providing advanced clinical training 

to approximately 15 percent of all Zambian practicing 

physicians upon completion of the program’s fifth year,” 

Redfield says. 

Hope Against Malaria 

Malaria cases worldwide number more than a million each 

year. The most vulnerable victims are African children. 

According to the WHO, a child dies of the disease every 

30 seconds, and there is no vaccine approved for malaria. 

Malaria cases worldwide number more than 

a million each year. The most vulnerable 

victims are African children. ... there 

is no vaccine approved for malaria. So 

far, defense has been limited to the use 

of insecticides and mosquito netting. 

So far, defense has been limited to the use of insecticides 

and mosquito netting. Drugs are available, but resistance 

to the medications is high. Children who have yet to build 

immunity to the parasite that causes malaria are hardest 

hit. That’s why results of research headed by Christopher 

Plowe, MD, MPH, professor of medicine and chief of CvD’s 

Malaria section, are being met with considerable optimism 

by the scientific community. 



HealtH 

Plowe’s study, conducted in Mali, West Africa, is sponsored 

by the U.S. Army, and funded by the NIH, the U.S. 

Agency for International Development, and the Howard 

Hughes Medical Institute. It shows a new vaccine tested 

against malaria to be safe in children. The study includes 

antibodies found on some children for up to two years. 

Results of approximately 400 children in the phase II trial 

Christopher Plowe, MD, MPH 

Kirsten Lyke, MD 

indicate a significantly higher level of antibodies with the 

new vaccine than with any previously tested. 

“We’re not home yet, but our results are very encouraging,” 

Plowe reports. “Right now, we’re trying to determine 

which dose will provide the most effective immune 

response. ” 

Kirsten Lyke, MD, associate professor of medicine, whose 

work is centered on malaria in 

Bandiagara, Mali, talks of the 

partnerships that underline malaria 

prevention. 

“The relationship between 

CvD and the University of 

Bamako is an established medical 

collaboration,” she says. “What 

the American partners have to offer 

is access to grants and funding, 

as well as a higher graduate level 

of training.” 

In the year 2000, the incidence 

of childhood malaria in Bandiagara 

was between one and two 

infections a year per child. Prior 

to the Mali year-round presence 

of CvD and Malian investigators, 

50 percent of youngsters with the 

most severe form of the disease, 

cerebral malaria, died. That number 

has been dramatically reduced 

to about two percent of children 

between one and six, as a result 

of intervention by CvD and the 

University of Bamako. 

Lyke, who has a young son, 

now confines her work primarily to Baltimore, conducting 

immunology trials. She says she misses the flexibility 

of having her “feet on the ground in Mali” and hopes to 

return in the near future. 

“Whether I’m here or there, the real reward in this work 

is making a difference in helping an underserved population,” 

she says. “We have a role in the basic science, the 

testing of a vaccine or drug, taking it to the field, and then 

processing samples back here. Our work comes full circle, 

and that’s rewarding.” 

Drug Resistance 

In Malawi, Africa, the fight waged by CvD against malaria 

continues, where Miriam Laufer, MD, MPH, assistant professor 

of pediatrics, monitors resistance to drugs, focusing 

on preventing the spread of drug resistance among malaria 

patients. 

“We are interested in the drug, chloroquine, the drug 

that became ineffective during the spread of resistance de-

cades ago, and now is no longer used in most sub-Saharan 

Africa,” Laufer says. “We questioned what happened once 

countries stopped using it. Did chloroquine resistance 

continue or did the chloroquine susceptible parasites 

come back?” 

The team first did a study of parasite genetics and found 

that the chloroquine susceptible malaria had, in fact, returned 

to Malawi. Laufer and colleagues then conducted a 

clinical study to show that chloroquine worked in treating 

malaria in children, as published in the New England Journal 

of Medicine in 2006. This phenomenon has occurred 

only in Malawi, the first country to stop using it to treat 

malaria. Chloroquine-resistant malaria is still common in 

the countries surrounding Malawi, but a similar trend is 

expected in those countries in the next five to 10 years. 

Clinical trials have begun among pregnant women, a 

population especially vulnerable because the disease affects 

both mother and infant. 

“There are challenges in our work,” Tapia 

concedes. “Local myths and misunderstandings 

often can keep a child from getting the 

care he or she needs.” 

Laufer still manages to find time to travel to 

Africa, even with a small child. She took him to 

Malawi when he was seven-months old, and reports 

he loved the food, music, and family-oriented society 

in the country. 

In Mali’s capital city of Bamako, Milagritos Tapia, 

MD, assistant professor of pediatrics, works with doctors 

in the local hospital, conducting research on bacterial 

infections including meningitis, septicemia, childhood 

diarrhea, influenza, and those that cause pneumonia. She 

is involved in an epidemiological study of influenza, for 

which there were no previous data in the country. 

“We have begun a household surveillance program 

of pregnant women,” Tapia reports. “When a pregnant 

woman comes to a health center presenting with influenza, 

we provide care and then ask if we can visit her during her 

pregnancy. Those visits continue after the baby is born, 

and we monitor the family and other contacts for signs of 

influenza.” Based on its first-in-the-country resources and 

capability, CvD Mali has been chosen by the government 

as the Mali National Influenza Center. 

vaccine trials in Bamako include one for Rotateq, 

a vaccine targeting rotavirus diarrhea. While Rotateq 

is given routinely to infants in the US, it had not been 

recommended for those in Africa, pending confirmation of 

its safety and effectiveness by CvD and others. Tapia says 

Dr. Tapia can be contacted at mtapia@medicine.umaryland.edu 

another field trial of a vaccine, MenAfrivac, that aims to 

prevent a particularly explosive form of meningococcal 

meningitis—a serious threat to Mali children and adults— 

has been approved by WHO as a result of the trials. 

“There are challenges in our work,” Tapia concedes. 

“Local myths and misunderstandings often can keep a child 

from getting the care he or she needs. But those challenges 

can be overcome by patiently explaining the need for 

intervention. In the end, the knowledge that we’re helping 

so many people outdistances any difficulty.” 

A Presence in Haiti 

When a devastating earthquake hit Haiti in January, 

IHv was already on the scene, a consequence of its 2004 

partnerships with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and 

PEPFAR. The team treats 30 percent of Haiti’s HIv/AIDS 

patients, and provides medical training for Haitian health 

professionals. St Francois Hospital, a key partner of IHv 

was almost totally destroyed in the quake, and 

120 patients and medical staff were buried alive. 

Members of the IHv/CRS team managed to pull 

35 surviving patients from the wreckage. 

Out of that tragedy and the enormous rescue 

effort undertaken by the R. Adams Cowley Shock 

Trauma Center, Haiti soon will benefit from a 

broadening of postgraduate medical training beyond 

infectious diseases, to include trauma and orthopedics 

under the Shock Trauma’s leadership. 

Redfield reflects, “Maryland can be proud of doing its 

part to help physicians and health care personnel in Africa 

and the Caribbean to get the training they want, and now 

can use for those they serve.” 

As someone who has been working in undeveloped 

countries since 1970, Levine talks candidly about the 

sacrifices made by those who choose a career in global 

medicine. 

“When I see my young colleagues skyping their kids, as 

I now do with my grandchildren, I think back to what it 

was like in the 1960s and 1970s when there were no cell 

phones, e-mail, fax machines, portable computers or Blackberry 

devices,” he says. “I kept a stack of post cards to send 

home to let family know I was alive and well.” 

He recalls one time he placed a call to his wife from 

Bangladesh. The call took 24 hours to go through, and 

he had to be physically present by the phone for about 

18 hours to be on hand when the connection was made. 

He says long absences from family are still painful. Little 

League games, dance recitals, and birthdays often are 

missed. There are rewards, however, including making lifelong 

friends among many cultures, and taking pleasure in 

watching some countries develop over the years. And for 

faculty members of CvD and IHv, there is that crowning 

reward—making a difference.

A giant Step for 

Medicine 


[al u m N u s Pr o F i l e ] 

Robert Haddon, ’89 

Science fiction, the moon landings, and dreams of space exploration propelled by a boy’s imagination—these were 

the building blocks of a self-styled future for Robert Haddon, ’89. 

From an early age, Haddon was not only fascinated by the space program, he believed firmly and enthusiastically 

in its importance. He also wanted to become a doctor. 

“It wasn’t until I got my MD and completed two residencies that I realized I could combine both interests in a 

practical way,” Haddon says. 

The physician who is board certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases and aerospace medicine, is today 

flight surgeon at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center, assigned 

to supporting the International Space Station (ISS). The term “surgeon” is military jargon that doesn’t imply sur- 

gical intervention, but responsibility 

for maintaining health and performance 

in an aerospace environment. 

Haddon assessing 

It’s Haddon’s job to keep astronauts 

a submerged space 

station mock up, well and physically fit both on earth 

used for extrave- and in space. 

hicular training. 

The ISS, which currently is in 

orbit, was built by its international 

partners including the space agencies 

of Russia, Europe, Japan, Canada and 

the US. Its mission is to study science 

in space and, in the course of doing so, 

the team is learning much about space 

travel itself. 

What are the challenges faced by a 

physician charged with keeping astronauts 

fit for space flight? 

“A great deal goes into ruling out 

cardiovascular and bone loss issues,” 

Haddon reports. “We deal too with 

the neurological impact on astronauts, 

and the whole range of environmental 

quality, including air and food quality, 

plus hygiene and potential changes in 

one’s immune system. Then there are 

questions such as which antibiotics do 

you send into space for astronauts who 

will be there for six months.” 

He adds that emergency situations 

are practiced through simulation, and 

that there is a medical capacity in 

orbit at the space station. An automatic 

external defibrillator, airway 

equipment, supplemental oxygen, Iv 

fluids, an emergency kit, and a variety 

of medications are available. 

On an educational level, Haddon 

studies and gives presentations to the 

aerospace community on the ecology 

within the space station and how 

humans, who are not sterile beings, 

can be protected from the inevitable 

microbial ecology within that environment. 

“I once did a master’s thesis on air quality in a hyperbaric 

chamber,” he says. “Now, ten years later, I’m facing similar 

questions that theoretically mimic the same environment.” 

Haddon spends two to three months of every year in Russia, 

supporting the American astronauts who are training on 

Russian hardware. Since portions of the international space 

station have been designed and built by different countries— 

with some pieces assembled in orbit—training mock-ups 

vary, requiring astronauts to spend time at each agency. 

He admits the toughest part of his work is the separation 

from his wife and two daughters necessitated by the months 

he spends in Russia each year. He is quick to add, however, 

that there is a flip side that has provided a family experience 

probably only a few enjoy. Recently, his family spent three 

weeks with him in Star City, Russia, where his daughters 

maintained their studies by attending the Star City Music 

School. 

“We were there for the school’s 40th annual pageant, 

and my girls were invited to play the piano for a Russian 

audience,” he says. “It was an experience I think they will 

treasure in years to come.” 

Haddon’s spontaneous enthusiasm for his work is paired 

with outspoken regard for his years at Maryland. He says 

what he remembers most is working hard. 

“I remember there was an emphasis on clinical thinking, 

not just ordering tests, and that has served me in good 

stead through the years,” he says. “Culturally, there was an 

interest in world history, as well as medical history, and the 

relationship between medicine and civilization struck home 

with me.” 

A typical day for Haddon is probably spent primarily 

in mission control, interacting with the team. He may rise 

at 4:30 a.m., and set out to help monitor the physiological 

performance of an astronaut. His responsibilities are varied, 

but all are collaborative, within NASA, and among the ISS 

international partners. 

According to him, aerospace medicine has changed 

considerably in the last 50 years, due to the increasing 

sophistication of the program itself and the backgrounds 

of astronauts. In the beginning, physically fit young people 

were sent into space for short periods of time. While today’s 

astronauts are still exceptionally fit, they are men and women 

who may have taken time to earn a couple of doctoral 

degrees, and who have traveled in space many times or for 

lengthy periods. Some have developed special skills requiring 

intense training. Aerospace medicine is a preventive 

science, one that has become more multifaceted along with 

the complexity of an astronaut’s age and background. 

At times, talking to Haddon, one can see the boy who 

graduated from science fiction to an absorption in the 

space program. When asked about the rewards of his career 

choice, he says simply that it is going to work each morning 

and helping to advance a program he believes in. But then, 

the voice gains momentum and he talks about watching a 

space shuttle land in the California high desert, then driving 

up to it, climbing through the hatch, and taking care 

of people who have just returned from space. It’s then that 

one understands, not only the enormity of Haddon’s commitment 

to this mission, but the fun he has found living a 

boyhood dream.

Tenure and 

Teaching 

Amal Mattu, ’93 

[al u m N u s Pr o F i l e ] 

RECENTLy TENURED alumnus Amal Mattu, ’93, professor of emergency 

medicine at Maryland, is invested in teaching, a passion he developed from role models 

he encountered during medical school. He singles out the late Theodore E. Woodward, 

’38, whom he met during an internal medicine rotation in his third year. 

“He inspired me to focus on emergency medicine, and caused me to think seriously 

about the importance of teaching,” Mattu says. “It wasn’t what he taught as much as his 

enthusiasm for the subject. He thoroughly believed that both medicine and teaching 

should be fun, and he communicated that to those who were fortunate enough to be his 

students.” 

Mattu, who directs the emergency medicine residency program, has followed in 

Woodward’s footsteps with numerous teaching awards, from five successive teacher of 

the year awards at Mercy Medical Center and three similar citations from the medical 

school, to national honors from the American College of Emergency Physicians 

and American Academy of Emergency Medicine. He is a frequent invited lecturer at 

academic institutions throughout the country and in places as far-flung as India and 

China. In the US, presentations at national conferences include stops at Harvard, 

yale, Stanford, Mayo Clinic, Columbia, Brown, vanderbilt, University of Pennsylvania, 

Hopkins, and others. 

He separates teaching into the kind that is done concurrently with clinical care 

from the bedside, and that which is performed on the lecture circuit—generally to 

practicing emergency physicians. Is there a secret to his success? 

“I can only say that, from the start, I found myself standing in front of people and 

trying to make things simple,” he says. “I’m a simple-minded person. I don’t grasp 

complex concepts. I’ve come to realize that students, residents, and physicians who 

have been in practice for 20 years all want the same—a lesson that is simple, straightforward 

and fun.” 

Mattu claims he chose emergency medicine because he enjoyed being the first person 

to meet a patient and come up with a diagnosis. He thinks of medicine, in many 

ways, as solving a mystery. In emergency medicine a doctor gets the first crack at the 

mystery. 

“We can’t always provide definitive treatment,” he acknowledges. “But it’s our role 

to see that a patient is headed in the right direction.” 

He admits he is partial to emergency medicine because of the variety of patients 

who come through the ER doors. He has no idea when he arrives each day what the 

next eight hours will bring, and he enjoys that. 

He refers to his national and international presentations as a “nerdy hobby.” Following 

his residency in emergency medicine he served a teaching fellowship at the 

American College of Emergency Physicians, and it gave him an opportunity to hone in 

on teaching skills and do some public speaking. To this day he enjoys reading books on 

the subject and says he learns a little more, or a different technique, from each one. In 

addition, he audio and videotapes his presentations to 

pinpoint areas where he needs improvement. 

“you can never settle for where you are in life,” he 

says pragmatically. He appears to be emphasizing this 

theory in his leadership of the emergency medicine 

residency program. In that role, he has spearheaded 

a program to develop leaders in the field of academic 

emergency medicine. Residents and faculty are encouraged, 

through innovative curricula and mentoring 

initiatives, to become engaged in writing, teaching, and 

service. He has expanded clinical rotations to include 

more critical care, pediatric, international, and community 

opportunities, as well as didactic and reading 

curriculum emphasizing geriatrics, cardiology, and risk 

management in emergency medicine. The result is that 

the department currently receives more than 1,000 

applications each year for 11 residency positions. 

“Ours is the only residency program that, in addition 

to a categorical program in emergency medicine, 

has three combined programs in emergency medicine/ 

internal medicine, emergency medicine/pediatrics, and 

emergency medicine/internal medicine/critical care,” 

Mattu reports. 

Mattu has been first author on two books, senior editor 

on three, and associate editor on another four. The 

focus of most of his books has been electrocardiogram 

interpretation and other high-risk topics in the emergency 

department. 

Looking back at his schooling, Mattu says he is most 

appreciative of Maryland’s commitment to education. 

“This is not something that is found in every school 

of medicine,” he says. When I travel around the country 

and talk to colleagues at other 

universities, the most common 

lament I hear is that schools 

don’t appreciate the efforts 

made in teaching, and that 

education is not a prime focus. 

Unfortunately, too many talk 

about good education, but they 

don’t reward good educators.” 

He says he once heard 

someone claim that neither 

Socrates nor Osler would 

achieve tenure at most universities 

today. “Today’s emphasis 

on grant-funded research is 

certainly important,” he says. 

“It’s good to realize, though, 

that through the years, Maryland 

has recognized the importance 

of outstanding educators 

and has rewarded dedicated educators accordingly.” 

When it comes to education through lectures on the 

national and international scene, he believes too many 

physicians fail to understand the relevance of publishing 

their presentations for a broader audience. Mattu sees 

publication as a very “doable” advantage in being able 

to disseminate one’s ideas widely. 

Married to an internal medicine specialist in private 

practice, he says his wife has caught the teaching bug 

and is currently teaching physician assistants while 

beginning to lecture as well. The Mattus have three 

children, a nine-year-old son and six-year-old boy and 

girl twins. 

Probably every young medical student starts out with 

a goal of changing the world, and Mattu was no different. 

He got his first and most important lesson toward 

such an aim from an iconic figure at Maryland who had 

already changed the world—Ted Woodward. 

“His research and international work made him 

famous,” Mattu says. “But it seemed clear to me that 

it was teaching that made the greatest impact on his 

career.” 

He remembers once when a student asked Woodward 

about the importance of research and teaching in 

medicine. Mattu says the answer was simple, memorable, 

and inspiring. It ended with the words, “We entrust 

our scientists to discover the world, but our teachers to 

change it.” 

Hearing those words, Mattu quickly scribbled them 

onto a piece of paper. He has carried the quote with 

him for more than 17 years. 


160 Years Ago 

In 1850, Maryland’s faculty voted 

to alter one of their graduation 

requirements—for a third time 

since the school’s founding in 1807. 

Initially students were required to 

publish a thesis, written in Latin. In 

1817 the “publication” requirement 

was dropped, and in 1824 the thesis 

could be written in English. Now, 

faculty announced they would allow 

a clinical case study to substitute 

for the required thesis. 

110 Years Ago 

In 1900, J. Whitridge Williams, class 

of 1888, pioneered investigations 

into the problems of the various 

phases of placentation. This work 

established Williams as the world’s 

leading authority on the subject. 

His book Obstetrics: A Textbook for 

the Use of Students and Practitioners 

was held to be the best in America. 

Williams was chairman of the department 

of obstetrics at Johns Hopkins 

and from 1911 to 1923 served as 

dean. In 1914, Williams also served 

as president of the American Gynecological 

Society.

Student Clinician Oath 

“As I begin this next stage of my medical education, I 

pledge to act in the best interests of my patients and to 

serve them with integrity, compassion, and respect for 

their beliefs and circumstances. In doing so, I will remember 

that warmth, empathy, and the art of medicine

Class of ’12 off to Rotations 

ctivities 

A simple but elegant ceremony in Davidge Hall on July 2 marked the beginning 

of rotations for the third-year class of 2012. For several years now the 

clinician ceremony has served as the official sendoff into the hospital wards 

and clinics. This year’s class of 156 was treated to a keynote address by Michael 

S. Donnenberg, MD, professor of medicine, and an address by Bruce E. 

Jarrell, MD, FACS, vice dean. Each class member received a gold pin to add 

to his/her white coat and recited a student clinician oath. The event was officiated 

by Donna Parker, ’86, assistant dean for student affairs and sponsored 

by the Medical Alumni Association. 

Class of ’14 Checks in 

Davidge Hall served as the welcoming venue for 160 first-year medical 

students as they reported to campus August 12 as members of the class of 

2014. Following a trend that began in 1996, this group has a female majority 

(60%). They posted an average MCAT score of 32 with a 3.73 gPA. Roughly 

80 percent are residents of the State of Maryland who will be paying nearly 

$25,000 this year in tuition and fees; the figure is twice that amount for outof-state 

students. Members were selected from a pool of 5,000 applicants.

Endowed Faculty Positions Key to Medical School’s Excellence 

Raising funds to establish endowed 

professorships in the medical school 

remains a high priority because of 

the powerful impact they have on 

recruiting and retaining outstanding 

faculty. The availability of an 

endowed position can often make the 

difference in a successful recruitment. 

The medical school currently has fifty 

endowed positions, a number that 

doubled during the bicentennial capital 

campaign that concluded in 2007. 

As the school moves forward with a 

new campaign, new professorships are 

at the top of the list in importance. 

The endowed positions come in 

different forms. An endowed chair 

of a clinical or basic sciences department 

requires a gift of $2.5 million 

while a professorship is $1.5 million. 

A distinguished professorship requires 

the same amount as a chair—$2.5 

million. The school’s case for support 

highlights several priority areas that 

are seeking such endowed positions 

in order to strengthen their level of 

excellence. 

A high mark of distinction, a 

named professorship is often the 

interest of a grateful patient who is 

capable of making a large gift in support 

of a physician who has provided 

care to the patient or a loved one. In 

2009, for example, the Hales Family 

Foundation contributed $2.5 million 

to establish the Thomas and Marie 

Hales Distinguished Professorship in 

Transplant Surgery. Hales had been 

a patient of Bartley P. Griffith, MD, 

who was appointed the inaugural 

recipient of the position. griffith is 

professor of surgery and head, division 

of cardiac surgery. Several endowed 

positions have been established 

through generous gifts by medical 

alumni as well. 

In virtually all cases, these significant 

gifts of endowed faculty positions 

Elijah Saunders, ’60 

A high mark of distinction, a 

named professorship is often the 

interest of a grateful patient who 

is capable of making a large gift 

in support of a physician who has 

provided care to the patient or 

a loved one. . . In less frequent 

cases, endowed positions have 

been established through gifts 

from multiple donors in honor 

of a special person. 

are made by a single donor who may 

make a single payment or multiple 

payments over three to five years. Professors 

are appointed to the positions 

after they have been funded in full. 

Professorships may be established with 

the promise of a future gift by bequest, 

although they cannot be filled until 

the funds are received. 

In less frequent cases, endowed positions 

have been established through 

gifts from multiple donors in honor 

of a special person. An example of an 

endowed fund that is growing toward 

the professorship level of $1.5 million 

is the endowment for Elijah Saunders, 

’60. This fund was established 

to serve as an endowment supporting 

the division of cardiology, hypertension 

section, with the provision that it 

would become a professorship once it 

reaches the minimum required level. 

The fund currently stands at slightly 

under $1 million in contributions and 

pledges. Saunders is professor of medicine 

in the division and was recipient 

of the 2010 MAA Honor Award & 

gold Key. Once additional contributions 

reach $1.5 million, the Saunders 

Professorship will be established and 

exist in perpetuity. Parties interested 

in donating to the fund may contact 

the development office. 

After an endowment is established 

and a faculty member is appointed to 

the role, the school holds an investiture 

ceremony that gathers the 

academic community, the donor’s 

family and friends, as well as board 

members and other advocates of the 

school. The program features a formal 

investing of the faculty member by the 

dean and testimonials by mentors of 

the newly installed chair or professor. 

It also includes remarks by the donor. 

These events have become wonderful 

celebrations of accomplishment and 

philanthropy. 

As the school continues its ascent 

through the ranks of the top-tier 

medical institutions, endowed chairs, 

professorships, and distinguished professorships 

provide the fuel to recruit 

and retain star physicians, scientists, 

and teachers who lead the way. 

n January 1, 2010, the requirement of having $100,000 

or less in modified adjusted gross income to be eligible 

for Roth IRA conversions was eliminated as a result of 

the further enactment of the Tax Increase Prevention 

and Reconciliation Act of 2005 (“TIPRA”) provisions. 

In addition, TIPRA created an incentive for Roth IRA 

conversions for 2010 as for that year only, a taxpayer may 

equally split the resulting income impact over the 2011 

and 2012 tax years unless he or she elects to report it all in 

2010. As the end of tax year 2010 approaches, traditional 

IRA owners should determine whether a full or a partial 

conversion to a Roth IRA will provide financial value as 

an income tax planning, retirement asset management, or 

estate planning and wealth transfer strategy. 

With the passage of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, 

the Roth IRA became available as a new type of retirement 

asset. It differs from the traditional IRA primarily 

in the form of taxation. generally, traditional IRAs offer 

the ability to accumulate pre-tax dollars, allow earnings to 

grow tax deferred, and subject the future distributions to 

ordinary income taxation. Roth IRAs, however, offer the 

ability to accumulate after-tax dollars, either through contributions 

(subject to income eligibility) or conversions of 

traditional IRAs, and allow the earnings to grow tax free, 

exempting future qualifying distributions from income tax 

altogether. Traditional IRA balances may be converted 

to Roth IRAs either in part or as a whole, and there is no 

limit on how often one can convert IRA balances. Under 

certain circumstances, a conversion reversal within prescribed 

time limits, which is termed a recharacterization, 

can be utilized should a Roth IRA conversion not achieve 

the expected results. 

Tax advisors and wealth planning practitioners have 

identified four general categories of Roth IRA conversions: 

1) Strategic conversions—undertaken by IRA owners 

that view their IRA more as a wealth transfer tool to 

create a legacy for a future generation than as a retirement 

funding asset. The Roth IRA may provide for greater 

wealth accumulation potential as the owner is not subject 

to the required minimum distribution rules after attaining 

age 70½ and conversion related taxes can be paid from a 

non-IRA source without being treated as a gift to the IRA 

beneficiary. 

2) Tactical conversions—executed to generate taxable 

income in the year of conversion (or the following two 

years, in the case of a 2010 conversion) that can offset 

unused special tax attributes such as net operating loss

and other ordinary losses,

tax credits. The 

IRA owner uses the Roth 

IRA conversion to realize 

a favorable tax attribute for 

the IRA while at the same 

time reducing the amount 

of income tax liability on 

the conversion.

portfolio to temporarily decline in value or in the situation 

where an IRA investment portfolio holds a stock 

which is expected to rapidly appreciate in value and thus 

can be converted and taxed at a lower value than expected 

in the near future. 

4) Hedging conversions—implemented as a hedge 

against the likelihood of a higher income and or estate tax 

environment in the future. An income tax hedge might 

involve a situation where a married taxpayer currently filing 

a joint tax return expects to file a single income tax return 

in the future (has a smaller personal deduction in the 

future) or simply anticipates higher income tax rates in 

the future as seemingly is expected for the upcoming tax 

years. An estate tax hedge may result from the payment of 

conversion related income tax prior to the imposition of 

the estate tax by reducing the amount of the IRA that will 

be included in the taxable estate by the income tax paid 

upon conversion. 

Whether your motivation is related to income tax 

planning, retirement asset management, or estate planning 

and wealth transfer, if you have not done so already, 

it is prudent to seek Roth IRA conversion analysis and 

advice from a qualified tax professional before the 2010 

tax year comes to a close.

Nathan Schnaper, 

’49, a distinguished 

psychiatrist and 

revered member of 

Maryland’s faculty 

since 1954 whose 

signature wardrobe 

included red sox 

and matching bow 

tie, died on August 23 at the 

age of 92. 

Born in Baltimore, Schnaper 

graduated from Polytechnic 

Institute in 1936 and received 

a BS degree at Washington 

College in Chestertown, Md., 

in 1940. He taught science 

for one year at Patterson Park 

High School before enlisting 

in the U.S. Army during 

World War II. He served in 

the Pacific Theater with the 

118th general Hospital of 

Johns Hopkins University as 

the NCO-in-charge of laboratory 

until discharge in 1945. 

He returned to Baltimore and 

enrolled at Maryland, graduating with honors in 1949. 

Schnaper served a rotating internship with the U.S. 

Public Health Service Hospital in Baltimore and received 

residency training in psychiatry at Sheppard Pratt Hospital 

from 1950 to 1953. 

In 1954, he became an instructor in psychiatry at 

Maryland, was promoted to associate in psychiatry in 

1956, associate clinical professor in 1967, and professor in 

1974. In 1972, Schnaper was named chief of the Maryland 

Institute for Emergency Medicine psychiatric branch

Remembered 

Nathan Schnaper, ’49 

Research interests 

focused on psychological 

implications of severe 

and multiple trauma, 

cancer, and AIDS, as 

Schnaper worked with 

terminal patients as well 

as the families. He was a 

frequent lecturer on these 

and related topics, and 

his teaching of residents 

and oncology fellows 

centered on helping them 

overcome insecurities 

of specializing in a field 

where success is often 

measured more in easing 

pain and suffering rather 

than curing a patient. 

Schnaper retired in 1996 

but continued working 

part time at the Marlene 

& Stuart greenebaum 

Cancer Center until 

a few weeks before his 

death. 

Schnaper received 

numerous awards including the distinguished alumnus 

award from Washington College in 1975 and humanitarian 

of the year by the Arlene R. Wyman guild in 1983. 

The Nathan Schnaper Summer Scholars Program was 

established in his honor at Maryland’s cancer center. 

Publications included I Pay You to Listen, Not Talk: A 

Psychiatrist’s 50-Year Odyssey in 2003. 

As a member of the class of 1949, Schnaper was an 

active alumnus and organized many of his class reunions. 

He was elected to a three-year term on the MAA Board 

of Directors in 1977 and was a member of the John Beale 

Davidge Alliance—the medical school’s society for major 

donors. Survivors include wife Roslyn, son H. William,
