- 3. Einstein Education Einstein’s M.D. program prepares tomorrow’s physicians to excel in both the science and the art of medicine by combining the pursuit of scientific excellence with compassionate and humanistic care and the social mission to improve human health through engagement in our local, national, and global communities. Our Graduate Programs in the Biomedical Sciences train some of today’s brightest students to become the next generation of leading scientific researchers, while our Medical Scientist Training Program (resulting in both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees) embraces a comprehensive "bench to bedside" philosophy to nurture the development of well-rounded physician- scientists. In all, the College of Medicine offers six graduate degree programs.
- 4. Research Round-Up Vaccinating Against Herpes Simplex Viruses—Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) causes herpes--a common illness involving recurrent oral or genital skin lesions. There is no effective vaccine to prevent herpes, andantiviral drugs reduce symptoms but do not eradicate the virus. In a report in the August 4 JCI Insight, Betsy Herold, M.D., andWilliam Jacobs, Jr., Ph.D., co-senior authors, and colleagues demonstrate that a new vaccine candidate developed in their labs (DgD-2) protected mice infected by genetically diverse strains of HSV-1 and HSV-2 that were provided by Amy Fox, M.D., at the Clinical Virology Lab of Montefiore. The vaccine induces antibodies that rapidly clear the virus from the skin before it can establish latency and persist in the body. These results distinguish this vaccine from all other candidate vaccines in the field. The study’s lead author was Christopher D. Petro, a graduate student from their labs. Dr. Herold is professor of pediatrics, of microbiology & immunology, and of obstetrics & gynecology and women’s health. Dr. Jacobs is professor of microbiology & immunology and genetics, and is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator.
- 5. Searching for Consensus on “Healthy” Foods Get 10 registered dietitian/nutritionists (RDNs) in a room and the chance of us “talking shop” is virtually 100 percent. While there’d be a robust debate about some subjects, we’d all agree that the question we get more than any other from the public is, “Is this healthy?” and various iterations of the same. Many consumers have definite ideas about what’s healthy and what’s not. So do nutritionists. According to a survey recently conducted by the New York Times that contrasted responses of the public and members of the American Society of Nutritionists, a professional organization, the two groups frequently disagree about whether a food is “healthy.”
