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.
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.
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.”
