Professor Lyle Moldawer has spent his entire academic career in clinical departments of surgery and has excelled at research, teaching, and administration. As a basic scientist, he is one of very few with Ph.D.’s who have risen to the rank of full professor and vice chairman for research in a clinical department in the US. Continuously funded by the NIH since 1988, Moldawer is a recipient of the MERIT Award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. In addition, he has directed a T32 training program for surgical residents in molecular biology and gene therapy for the past six years. Moldawer is also one of the leaders of a “Glue Grant,” an NIH-funded, multidisciplinary approach to introduce functional genomics and high-throughput proteomics to critical care medicine. He serves on the Surgery, Anesthesiology, and Trauma study section of the NIH and the Surgery B study section of the Veterans Administration. Moldawer lists more than 300 peer-reviewed publications and is an associate editor of Shock and American Journal of Physiology. He is a past recipient of the Blue Key Award for Distinguished Faculty (1989) and the 2004 winner of the College of Medicine Basic Science Research Award.
