Priya Issuree, PhD, was awarded an R35 Outstanding Investigator Award, a five-year, $1.9 million grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS).

Early in May, Department of Internal Medicine Grand Rounds hosted three Stimulating Access to Research in Residency—or StARR—Scholars for updates in their NIH’s National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) grant-funded research.

Dr. Brad Dixon announced that the Awards Committee has selected William M. Nauseef, MD, a 26-year veteran staff physician at the ICVA, Professor Emeritus of Medicine and Microbiology in the Division of Infectious Diseases and founder of the multidisciplinary Iowa Inflammation Program at the Carver College of Medicine as the recipient of the fourth DiBona Academics in Service of ICVA Veterans Award.

A pediatrics researcher is probing the immune system’s role in long-term brain deficits.

After four decades at the University of Iowa, William Nauseef, MD, announced his intention to retire and stepped back from clinical responsibilities. An infectious diseases physician and researcher, the founder and longtime director of the Iowa Inflammation Program, Nauseef balanced daily work in the lab and in the clinic with education, mentoring, and generous support for peers.

The interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Departments of Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Microbiology & Immunology, and Anatomy & Cell Biology combine their shared interest in the biology of inflammation and how it impacts disease.
