At the forefront of 2018 is our dedication to training the next-generation physicians, scientists, and physician-scientists who will make a dramatic impact on the future of biomedicine, and providing the highest-quality, patient-centered care at our state-wide network of premier clinical practices. At the end of last year, our 210th anniversary year, we closed with the Fifth Annual Festival of Science. This event not only highlights a key area of research across the entire School of Medicine, but also focuses on research partnerships among our senior and junior faculty in a particular field. This year’s focus was on “Mobility Disability in Aging.” The presenters all mentioned the cross-collaborative work they are conducting with their colleagues, not just at the School of Medicine, but across the nation.
I was particularly pleased to see the joint presentation given by W. Jonathan Lederer, MD, PhD, Christopher Ward, PhD, and Joseph Stains, PhD, who not only demonstrated the complementary nature of their individual studies, thereby placing them in a good position to apply for a program project grant, but also the power of actual or virtual proximity to fueling their work together. Although “water cooler conversations” may be a bit of an antiquated notion, the idea that investigators working next to each other end up working with each other is not. This is why the placement of collaborative research teams in the new School of Medicine Research Building, Health Sciences Facility III, is so vital to encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration.
However, not every joint research project benefits from happenstance — i.e., one group is assigned laboratory space next to another group, the two start talking, and “boom,” a cooperative research project is born. Sometimes, we need to make a deliberate effort to promote and accelerate innovation and discovery. Simply wishing for that to happen is not enough.
For example, this month we feature the work of the Brain Science Research Consortium Unit (BSRCU), led by Bankole Johnson, DSc, MD, MB, ChB, MPhil. The BSRCU was conceived in 2014 as part of the School’s Shared Vision 2020 for UM Medicine. To achieve our Vision 2020 research goals of tackling “big science” questions, we chose to leverage our senior faculty, Chairs, and Directors — the best and brightest that we have — and put them together in a consortia, thereby harnessing their incredible talents more easily.
We started with a research consortium unit focused on the brain because neuroscience is an area of great interest across multiple disciplines. It engages basic, translational, and clinical researchers, and draws upon the unique strengths we have at the School of Medicine, from the decades-long work of the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center to the cutting-edge research on MRI-guided focused ultrasound to treat essential tremor and the groundbreaking work we are doing to stem the tsunami of the opioid epidemic in this country. We are incredibly fortunate to have a cadre of faculty whose work is dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of our most precious and puzzling organ.
Related to the work of the BSRCU is the School of Medicine’s research portfolio on concussion and traumatic brain injury treatment. Next month, the majority of our citizens will be watching the 52nd Super Bowl. Professional sports, and particularly American football, are only recently acknowledging the real toll that repeated head injuries can have on the longevity and well-being of players and their families. Although injured athletes may get a lot of attention in the media, people with head injuries due to falls, traffic accidents, and violence also face long roads to recovery. The work that our faculty is doing in these areas will become vital, not just in terms of helping patients recovery more quickly and more fully, but also providing greater insights to how the brain functions — or doesn’t function — after trauma.
As we look ahead with anticipation and excitement over the promise that this New Year may bring, I strongly encourage us also to look to our left and to our right — our next great collaborative project could entail working with the person conducting research in the laboratory next door.
In the relentless pursuit of excellence, I am
Sincerely yours,
