2010 DREAM Innovation Grant Recipients AnnouncedThe Department of Anesthesiology is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2010 DREAM Innovation Grant: Joseph P. Mathew, MD, MHSc, Michael Luke James, MD, and Wei Yang, PhD. The winners of this new departmental grant were announced aboard the High Spirits Yacht at our annual alumni reception in San Diego. Their studies are listed below:

Joseph P. Mathew, MD, MHSC - “Functional Neuroimaging to Assess Cognitive Function After Cardiac Surgery”Michael Luke James, MD - “Gender-Based Differences in Genetic Expression After Acute Brain Injury in Mice”Wei Yang, Phd - “Role of SUM02/2 Conjugation Pathway in Cerebral Ischemi/Stroke”

The Dream Innovation Grant (or DIG), which was established with the goal of encouraging both junior and senior researchers to discover and implement innovative solutions to improve patient care, has inspired positive momentum within the department and is to become an annual grant. Judges of the DIG competition were impressed by the high quality of work submitted, and applaud the many deserving applicants who were not chosen. Mathew, James and Yang were selected from a strong pool of 17 statements of intent and 13 total applications. These highly-qualified individuals will receive $30,000 each over the course of the next year to obtain pilot data which will allow them to apply additional funding from extramural agencies such as the NIH in the future. We encourage those who were not chosen to apply again next year and congratulate our highly-deserving 2010 DIG recipients!

Comings and Goings in the DepartmentPlease welcome Corey Rimmer to the department. Corey is a new Anesthesia Technician who started on October 18, 2010.

Warren M. Zapol, MD, is the emeritus Anesthetist-in-Chief at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Reginald Jenney Professor of Anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School. From 1994 to 2008, Dr. Zapol served as anesthetist-in-chief at MGH and is currently the director of the MGH Anesthesia Center for Critical Care Research. A graduate of MIT and the University of Rochester School of Medicine, Dr. Zapol’s major research efforts include studies of acute respiratory failure in animals and humans. Supported by the National Science Foundation, he has led nine Antarctic expeditions to study the diving mechanisms and adaptations of

the Weddell seal. Through that research his team learned how marine mammals avoid decompression illness and hypoxia. In 2003, he was awarded the Intellectual Property Owners Association’s Inventor of the Year Award for the treatment of hypoxic human newborns with inhaled nitric oxide, a technique now used to save the lives of thousands of babies each year that he pioneered with his MGH team. In 2006, a steep mountain glacier in Antarctica was named for Dr. Zapol. In 2008, he was appointed by President George W. Bush as the academic representative to the U.S. Arctic Research Commission.
