On Friday I had the pleasure to represent our hospital at the Research!Louisville's Awards Celebration. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this organization, its aims are to promote excellence and public awareness of health sciences research in the Louisville area.
The program started off with a keynote address from Dr. Ronald Kahn, Vice Chair of the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston and Professor of Medicine at Harvard University. He gave a very interesting talk on the diabetes and obesity epidemic in the United States from a molecular science perspective. While its been quite awhile since my pre-medicine days learning about biology and biochemistry, it is certainly apparent that the field of medicine continues to evolve at a very rapid pace in trying to better understand the challenges we are faced with today and finding answers to those challenges.
The event concluded with recognizing an outstanding group of individuals who are on the forefront of developing tomorrow's answers in advancing the field and practice of medicine forward in ways we could have only dreamed of in the past.
Congratulations to all of this year's winners and read more about them on their website at researchlouisville.org!
