Division Highlights

Developmental Biology and Plastic Surgery

The divisions of Plastic Surgery and Developmental Biology have established a new interdivisional Center for Cranio-Facial Development. Drs. Rulang Jiang (Professor) and Samantha Brugmann (Assistant Professor) have been recruited from the University of Rochester Medical Center and Stanford University, respectively, to establish this research group.

Developmental Biology and Urology

The divisions of Pediatric Urology and Developmental Biology have jointly recruited Dr. Joo-Seop Park, from Harvard University. Dr. Park will work on the development of the urinary tract.

Christopher Wylie

Chris Wylie was awarded the Waddington Medal by the British Society for Developmental Biology. The medal is awarded for “outstanding research performance as well as services to the research community”.

Midwest Society for Developmental Biology Meeting

The Midwest regional meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology was hosted by CCHMC in May 2010. The local committee; Vladimir Kalinichenko (Neonatology/Pulmonary Biology), Vaughn Cleghon (Developmental Biology), Debora Sinner (Neonatology/Pulmonary Biology), and Nadean Brown (Chair, Developmental Biology), did an outstanding job. The meeting was a great success, and attracted the largest audience ever for this regional meeting.

Trainee accomplishments

Trainees in the division gained some significant awards this year. Jason Spence (postdoctoral fellow, Wells lab) gained an NIH career transition award. Ying Gu (graduate student, Wylie/Heasman lab) gained a Ryan Fellowship, the most prestigious University award for graduate students. Jennifer Tucker (postdoctoral fellow, Chuang lab) gained an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship. Kate Maurer (graduate student, Brown lab) gained a Young Investigator Student Fellowship Award for Female Scholars in Vision Research, from Prevent Blindness Ohio. Xiaofei Sun (postdoctoral fellow, Dey lab) was awarded a Lalor Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. Alejandro Lopez Juarez (postdoctoral fellow, Nakafuku lab) gained a postdoctoral fellowship from the National Science and Technology Board of Mexico. Andrea Pardo (neurology resident trainee, Nakafuku lab) gained an Outstanding Junior Member Award from the Child Neurology Society. We are very proud of our trainees, whose awards indicate the increasing strength in depth of the developmental biology matrix.

Geraldine Guasch

Geraldine Guasch, a young faculty member in the division, gained a prestigious Sydney Kimmel Scholar’s award, one of only fifteen awarded in the USA for her work in cancer research. Geraldine is the first Kimmel awardee at CCHMC. Geraldine also gained a Basil O’Connor Starter Scholar Award from the March of Dimes.

Samantha Brugmann

Samantha Brugmann, a new faculty member Plastic Surgery/Developmental Biology, gained an NIH Pathway to Independence (PI) award (K99/R00).

Significant Accomplishments

Growing intestinal tissue

A recent paper in Nature documented the first example of organogenesis into intestinal tissue from human pluripotent stem cell cultures. The team of principal investigators, including Chris Mayhew, PhD, and Aaron Zorn, PhD (Developmental biology), Vladimir Kalinichenko, MD, PhD (Neonatology/Pulmonary Biology), Susanne Wells, PhD (Hematology/Oncology), and Noah Shroyer, PhD (Gastroenterology), was headed up by James Wells, PhD (Developmental biology). The paper was first-authored by postdoctoral fellow Jason Spence, PhD.

Studying neuron development

A team including including Richard Lang, PhD (Ophthalmology), Alex Kuan, MD, PhD (Developmental Biology), Yi Zheng, PhD (Experimental Hematology), and headed by Yutaka Yoshida, PhD, (Developmental Biology), published a paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that disruption of the intracellular signal RhoA altered the balance between differentiation and proliferation in the progenitor cells of neurons in the central nervous system. The paper is first-authored by Kei-ichi Katayama, PhD, DVM, a trainee in the Yoshida laboratory.

Understanding abnormal hematopoiesis

In a recent issue of Current Opinion in Hematology, Noah Shroyer, PhD (Gastroenterology), Tiffany Cook, PhD (Ophthalmology), Brian Gebelein, PhD (Developmental Biology), and H. Leighton Grimes, PhD (Immunobiology), discuss the roles of a specific transcription factor (Gfi1) whose actions are conserved in evolution from fruit fly development to human hematopoiesis. In humans, Gfi1 is a component of transcriptional regulatory pathways whose disregulation leads to abnormal hematopoiesis and malignancy. Such pathways represent key targets for clinical intervention. The article is first-authored by James Phelan, a graduate student in the immunology graduate program. 

Neonatal trauma and muscle growth

In a paper in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Chris Wylie, PhD (Developmental Biology), and Roger Cornwall, MD (Orthopaedic Surgery) identify a failure of normal satellite cell function and muscle growth as the primary defect in the contractures caused by neonatal trauma to the brachial plexus. The paper is first-authored by Sia Nikolaou, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in Orthopaedic Surgery.

Molecular and Developmental Biology Graduate Program

The Graduate Program in Molecular and Developmental Biology is an interdepartmental program within the University of Cincinnati that offers the Ph.D. degree. It has been based in the Department of Pediatrics for over 35 years. Drs. Kenneth Campbell and Timothy Weaver served as Directors of the Program with co-directors Drs. Jeffrey Whitsett - finance, Richard Lang- curriculum, Tim LeCras - admissions, Edith Markoff – recruitment, Jeff Robbins – faculty membership, and John Shannon– graduate studies.

There are 85 faculty members in the program.  During the past year, there were 65 pre-doctoral students in the program, 8 of whom are pursuing M.D./Ph.D. degrees.  Students and faculty continue to be productive as measured by their numbers of publications, presentations at meetings, honors and awards received.  Grant support to faculty remains high.

During the past year, the University of Cincinnati continued to support the program by providing University Graduate Assistantships and funds appropriated from the Dean's office to support 6 first year students.  The remaining students are supported through a variety of sources including Ryan Fellowships (3), American Heart Fellowships (2), NIH training grants (14), external grants to their advisors (28), CHRF Special Purpose Funds to their advisors (19) and funds from the Children's Hospital Research Foundation to the Graduate Program (7).

The MDB Program provides an excellent research educational experience for students and has an excellent record in the placement of its graduates in scientific careers.
