New Issue of Boston University Medicine
Our cover story showcases the Biology of the Lung Program, BU’s longest-running, federally funded training program that began in 1975 and has been re-funded through its 50th year! Congratulations to everyone involved in that program throughout the decades.
The issue also shares a wealth of stories about alumni, including a historical feature on William Lane Watkins, who in 1876 became the first Black man to graduate from BUSM. We also spotlight three alums who earned their medical degrees in the 1970s and today are deans of U.S. medical schools, not to mention a feature on how Drew Weissman (MED’87, GRS’87) and Katalin Karikó developed the revolutionary mRNA technology that underlies the effectiveness of two COVID-19 vaccines.
