Earlier this month, a group of leaders from the Stanford University School of Medicine toured UNMC. The group, which included Lloyd Minor, M.D., the Carl and Elizabeth Naumann Dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine, met with university leadership, attended meetings on the microbiome, food security and health security, and toured the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit, the iEXCEL Visual Hub and the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. "We're delighted to be here today with our colleagues at UNMC," said Dr. Minor, who was joined on the trip by Sumbul Desai, M.D., vice chair of strategy and innovation in the Stanford Department of Medicine; David Relman, M.D., Thomas C. and Joan M. Merigan Professor in the Departments of Medicine and of Microbiology & Immunology, Thomas Montine, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the department of pathology, and Megan Mahoney, M.D., chief of general primary care in the division of primary care and population health at Stanford. "I met Dr. Gold a couple of years ago when he and some colleagues visited Stanford," Dr. Minor said. "We're delighted to be here today to learn more about the wonderful work going on here and how we might collaborate in the future. "I'm really impressed by the dedication of the people who are here, by the great work that's going on at all different levels of health care and research-related biomedicine," he said. "We look forward to continuing discussion about things we might do together in the future."
