The People The Impact
Through funding from the NIH, gene therapy may
someday reverse the effects of mental
retardation, and humanity may owe thanks at least
in part to researchers like Dr. Beverly Davidson
at The University of Iowa. Using gene therapy
to switch off genes instead of adding new ones
could slow down or prevent the fatal brain
disorder, Huntington's disease.
Beverly Davidson, Ph.D. Professor of Internal
Medicine, Physiology and Biophysics, and
Neurology.

The People The Impact
Through studies funded by the NIH and the
Department of Defense, researchers like Professor
Greg Gray at the Center for Emerging Infectious
Diseases seek to understand why some people
experience animal-to-human transmission of
influenza virus. Identifying people at the
greatest risk of zoonotic infection is a first
step in providing them with special vaccines to
prevent such infections and epidemics.
Gregory C. Gray, MD, MPH Professor, Department of
Epidemiology Director, Center for Emerging
Infectious Diseases

The People The Impact
Through studies funded by the National Institute
for Nursing Research (NINR), researchers at
University of Iowas College of Nursing, such as
Dr. Marita Titler, study the management of pain
in older adults with hip fractures, a population
that is likely to have acute pain. This
interdisciplinary endeavor brings together
experts from The University of Iowa Colleges of
Nursing, Pharmacy, Medicine, and Public Health
and from The University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics.
University of Iowa College of Nursing is the 2
gerontological nursing program in the country, as
ranked by U.S. News and World Report.

David Wilder, associate professor of biomedical
engineering, wants to make sure that farmers have
their bodies cushioned in the best possible way
to avoid back injury when their tractors take an
unforeseen bump.
