I am honored to receive the David I. Macht Research Award 2023 from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
The David Israel Macht Research Prize, established in 1983 to mark the centenary of the birth of Dr. Macht, recognizes outstanding research contributions by an M.D., Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D. student enrolled in the School of Medicine. This award was made possible through the generosity of his son, Dr. Martin B. Macht, and the Macht family. Dr. Macht (1882–1957) was educated at Johns Hopkins where he received the A.A. and M.D. degrees. He joined the faculty of the Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1911 as an Instructor in Clinical Medicine and in 1918 became a Lecturer in Clinical Pharmacology. He had a special interest in opiate alkaloids, the absorption of drugs and several of other areas of pharmacology. One of his students wrote of David Macht, "he taught me the love and the humility of scholarship."
I will be giving a talk on my research at the Young Investigators’ Day Program (YIDP) ceremony on April 20th, 2023, from 3–5 PM in the Mountcastle Auditorium, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
