Dr. Derek E. Byers, a Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has been named Executive Chair of the Washington University Institutional Review Board (IRB), the multidisciplinary group that reviews and approves protocols for research studies that involve human subjects. The board is responsible for protecting the rights and welfare of anyone participating in a research study conducted by Washington University investigators.
Dr. Edwin K. Silverman completed his PhD thesis in 1990 with a definitive study of gene frequency for the deficiency (PiZ) in 20,000 subjects from St. Louis that he typed personally. To do this, he devised a sophisticated and rapid immunoassay. Data included details from 53 families mostly from the division series. He proved the previous studies in the US (including one from St. Louis), had drastically underestimated frequency of the deficiency. The division laboratory continued to determine antitrypsin phenotypes until 1991.
Dr. John A. McDonald joined the division's group at the Jewish Hospital in 1979. A biochemist with interests in lung development and fibronectin, he was highly productive in research. He was appointed director of the division in 1985 and under his tenure, the division expanded rapidly. Following McDonald's departure in 1991, Dr. Michael J. Holtzman was appointed chief of the division and the rate of faculty expansion increased further.
Dr. John A. Pierce was recruited as Director of the Division of Pulmonary Medicine in 1967. Teaching programs were active in four hospitals at the time, each with its own faculty. The major programs were at Barnes Hospital where Dr. Goldman was in charge and Jewish Hospital where Dr. Robert M. Senior became director in 1969. Dr. I.J. Flance supervised the program at St. Louis City Hospital until 1967 and Dr. Joseph Levitt directed the programs at Washington University and at the VA Hospital. The fellowship training program started in 1970 and the faculty agreed training should include equal time in each of the three teaching hospitals and the fellows should have freedom to choose their research. City Hospital closed in 1985.
