Directors and Administrators Director dfmosher@facstaff.wisc.edu Mosher Lab Website Deane Mosher is Professor in the Departments of Biomolecular Chemistry and Medicine and on the graduate faculties of the Departments of Anatomy, and Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. He received an AB from Dartmouth College and a MD from Harvard Medical School. He came to the University of Wisconsin in 1976 after completing an internship in Medicine at Duke University Medical Center, a residency in Medicine at Beth Israel Hospital, Boston, a fellowship in Biological Chemistry at Harvard Medical School, military service at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, and a year as a Visiting Scientist in the Department of Virology, University of Helsinki, Finland. Dr. Mosher was head of the Section of Hematology and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant from 1984 to 2003 and has been Robert F. Schilling WARF Professor of Medicine since 1997. He received a honorary MD from the University of Lund in 1998. In 2006, he received the first of what will be an annual award from the American Society of Hematology for mentorship in the basic sciences. Dr. Mosher has been a graduate student trainer in the University of Wisconsin Medical Scientist Training Program since its refounding in 1986 and was co-associate Director from 1991 to 1997. He became Director in 1999. Dr. Mosher's research focuses on the interaction of cells with proteins of the extracellular matrix and vice versa. His laboratory is known for its pioneering work on fibronectin and thombospondins, the innovative application of protein chemistry to cell biological questions, and the training of many graduate students and fellows who are now well known in their own right. Dr. Mosher combines his research and administrative responsibilities with a clinical practice within the Section of Hematology/Oncology, Department of Medicine. Co-Associate Director rdb@medicine.wisc.edu Blank Lab Website Robert Blank is an Associate Professor in the Endocrinology Section of the Department of Medicine. He received a BA from Columbia University, BA in Genetics from the University of Cambridge, and MD/PhD from New York University followed by a residency in Medicine at Cornell University Medical Center/Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and fellowship Cornell University Medical Center/Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Rockefeller University. He was on the faculty in the Department of Medicine of Cornell University School of Medicine before moving to the University of Wisconsin in 2000. Dr. Blank’s research focuses on genetics of the musculoskeletal system and bone and mineral metabolism. Dr. Blank’s clincical practice encompasses general endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. Co-Associate Director huttenlocher@facstaff.wisc.edu Huttenlocher Lab Website Anna Huttenlocher is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Medical Microbiology and Immunology. She received a BA from Oberlin College and MD from Harvard Medical School. Her internship was at Boston Children's Hospital, and residency and fellowships were at UCSF. After completing a Pediatric Scientist training fellowship in the Department of Cell and Structural Biology at the University of Illinois, she joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Huttenlocher was very active in the MD/PhD program at the University of Illinois as a trainer and member of the advisory committee. Dr. Huttenlocher moved to the University of Wisconsin in 1999 and has been Co-Associate Director of the Medical Scientist Training Program since then. Her research focuses on understanding the basic adhesive and signaling mechanisms that regulate cell migration and invasion. Basic research approaches include live imaging of GFP-fusion proteins in migrating cells and development of the zebrafish as a model organism with which to study inflammation. She has received many honors for her work, including the Romnes Award given by the University of Wisconsin to outstanding mid-level faculty members and the highly competitive Burroughs-Wellcome Fund’s Clinical Scientist Award in Translational Research for studies of “Diagnosis and Treatment of Autoinflammatory Disease.” Dr. Huttenlocher's clinical practice is in Pediatric Immunology/Rheumatology where she sees patients with chronic autoimmune disorders and primary immunodeficiencies. She is a graduate trainer in the Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology and Cellular & Molecular Biology programs. Program Administrator pscook@wisc.edu Mr. Cook received his BA from Wittenberg University. His interest in other cultures led him to travel extensively after graduation, teaching English in Japan, travelling through Southeast Asia and working in Australia. After returning to the USA, he settled in the mountains of West Virginia where he became a carpenter, specializing in log homes. Before moving to Madison in 1997, Mr. Cook spent ten years assisting with teaching labs and faculty research projects at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine. He began at the University of Wisconsin as assistant to the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs in the School of Medicine and Public Health. He became MSTP Program Administrator in 1998, with responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the MSTP and has overseen the growth of the program from 26 to its present 70 students. |
