Dr. Himmelfarb joined the Nephrology faculty in 2008 as the inaugural Director of the Kidney Research Institute (KRI) and the holder of the Joseph Eschbach Endowed Chair in Kidney Research, roles that he held through 2022. In these 14 years, he catalyzed research and innovation to advance the care of patients with kidney diseases by fostering numerous collaborations within the Department of Medicine, across different departments within and outside the School of Medicine and nationwide. Not only did he put the KRI on the world map, he continued to pursue his own highly innovative research such as his work on kidney-on-a-chip, establishing the Center for Dialysis Innovation in 2017, and leading the central hub of the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP). We look forward to continued scientific collaborations he will maintain with faculty and staff for years to come and witnessing the extraordinary achievements he will undoubtedly bring in his new role. ________________________________ [cid:image029.jpg@01DA877A.27DDFB30]Dr. Ryan Abe, clinical instructor (General Internal Medicine) has been appointed the new Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) for the Division of General Internal Medicine.

Research news Social factors influence Asian Americans' heart health Unfavorable social determinants of health, such as being unemployed or not having a degree beyond high school were associated with an increased likelihood of risk for cardiovascular disease among Asian Americans, according to research published recently in the Journal of the American Heart Association. [cid:image031.jpg@01DA877A.27DDFB30]"Despite the perception that Asian Americans may be less impacted by social determinants of health compared to other racial and ethnic groups, our findings indicate unfavorable social factors are associated with higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among Asian American groups," said lead author Dr. Eugene Yang, clinical professor (Cardiology).

Clinical News Endocrinologists outline treatment for type 1 diabetes A group of endocrinologists have drafted a peer-reviewed standard-of-care document designed to guide primary-care physicians, who provide frontline treatment to 50% of adults with type 1 diabetes. [cid:image032.jpg@01DA877A.27DDFB30]"We have all these great studies of cardiovascular risk prevention in type 2 diabetes," said study co-author Dr. Irl Hirsch, professor (Metabolism, Endocrinology and Nutrition) and UW Medicine's diabetes treatment and teaching chair. "Here in the United States, we have 1.8 million people with type 1 diabetes and yet we have almost no direct studies. I went to the New England Journal of Medicine and said, 'Look, this is a huge problem.' Hirsch and colleagues addressed this by publishing guidelines describing how heart, kidney and liver disease manifest in type 1 patients, and identifying best treatment options for high blood glucose, hypertension, obesity and several specific heart conditions.

Events of interest Quiet week: April 8-12 As we continue to rebuild resilience and focus on mental health, we would like to preserve department-wide quiet weeks throughout the year. During these weeks, we hope that individuals can limit non-essential meetings to recharge and reflect, as well as thoughtfully minimize emails. We realize that this will not be possible for everyone, but encourage all to take breaks when they are able. Upcoming 2024 quiet weeks: * August 5-9 * November 25-29 * December 23-27 Northwest Nature and Health Symposium Registration is now open for the Northwest Nature and Health Symposium on May 1 at the Intellectual House! This year's event features eight talks, one moderated discussion, a student poster session, and the chance to connect with interdisciplinary colleagues who are interested in conservation and health equity.

This visit was Dr. Leppig's 15th visit to Vietnam to work with colleagues in pediatrics to provide genetic diagnoses for children with severe congenital disorders. Genetic diagnoses combined with PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) enable future pregnancies to be healthy. On this trip, Dr. Leppig was accompanied by Dr. Mary-Claire King, whose laboratory carries out the genomic sequencing and analysis, and genetic counselor Darci Sternen. Drs. Gail Jarvik, Peter Byers, and Virginia Sybert have previously traveled to Vietnam as part of this program. Education news Giving primary-care docs training, tools to manage dementia [cid:image012.png@01DA8CF3.5FBDB260]The diagnosis and care of dementia, whose U.S. incidence is forecast to more than double by 2050, is far beyond what could be managed by specialists in this area, typically neurologists and geriatricians. Dr. Barak Gaster, professor (General Internal Medicine) is building a program to help healthcare systems meet this colossal need. While maintaining a busy primary-care practice, he has spent the past seven years learning all he can about dementia: red flags, diagnostics, how to talk with patients and families, and treatment options. The result of this immersion is the Cognition in Primary Care program, which blends brief education modules with easy-to-use electronic health record tools to put the training into practice.

According to Indian Health Services, there?s a physician shortage ? a health-professional vacancy rate of 25% ? among doctors who care for this population. Through programs and opportunities such as the American Indian Medical Experience: a three-day immersive training at local reservations, the Indian Health Pathway and expanding graduate medical education opportunities, the UW School of Medicine and GME are working to improve those statistics and increase the number of physicians in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Read the full story from The Huddle. Research news Many surgical site infectious begin with the microbiome [cid:image016.jpg@01DA8CF3.5FBDB260]A new study using genetic testing of preoperative patient microbiomes shows that most surgical-site infections that emerge after major spine surgery come from bacteria already on the patients? bodies before they enter the hospital. The findings expand upon those of older, more limited studies and counter conventional thinking about the source of surgical infections. Researchers from several UW departments teamed up on the study. Using genetic tests, they found that 86% of infections in patients who had surgical implants installed in their spines started from strains of bacteria carried by the patient prior to surgery. Most of these bacteria were resistant to the antibiotic administered during the procedure. The study was published this week in Science Translational Medicine. Drs. Chloe Bryson-Cahn, associate professor, and John Lynch, professor (Allergy and Infectious Diseases) are co-authors. Read the full story from UW Medicine Newsroom.

Research news New class of antimicrobials discovered in soil bacteria [cid:image009.jpg@01DA9272.EBAAD760]Researchers have discovered toxic protein particles, shaped like umbrellas, that soil bacteria known as Streptomyces secrete to squelch competitors, especially others of their own species. Scientists have mined Streptomyces for antibiotics for nearly a century, but the newly identified umbrella toxin escaped notice. The discovery of the umbrella toxin particles and related information about their structures, composition and mode of action were published April 17 in Nature. The study was supported by the Microbial Interactions & Microbiome Center, directed by Dr. Joseph Mougous, adjunct professor (Gastroenterology) and holder of the Lynn M. and Michael D. Garvey Endowed Chair in Gastroenterology.
