Шаблон:Short description

Charles Nicholas Serhan is the Simon Gelman Professor of Anaesthesia (Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology) at Harvard Medical School and a Professor of Oral Medicine, Infection and Immunity at Harvard School of Dental Medicine.[1] Serhan is the Director of the Center for Experimental Therapeutics and Reperfusion Injury at Brigham and Women's Hospital.[1]

Education

Serhan completed his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1978.[2] In 1982, Serhan earned a doctorate in Experimental Pathology and Medical Sciences from New York University School of Medicine.[2] Following his graduation, Serhan began a postdoctoral fellowship at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden under the mentorship of Bengt Samuelsson.[3] Serhan has also received honorary degrees from Harvard University,[1] University College Dublin,[4] and Queen Mary College, University of London.[5]

Career

The focus of Serhan's research are Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators (SPMs), which are "inflammation-fighting molecules in the body derived from essential fatty acids".[6] While working with Mats Hamberg and Bengt Samuelsson at the Karolinska Institute, Serhan helped discover lipoxin[7] the first of the SPMs to be elucidated.[8] Since this initial discovery, Serhan has identified additional mediators including Resolvins, Maresins, and Protectins.[9]

Serhan became a faculty member at Harvard Medical School in 1987[3] and the Director of the Center for Experimental Therapeutics and Reperfusion Injury at Brigham and Women's Hospital (CET&RI).[1] The CET&RI's mission is: "To identify novel mediators, pathways, and their cellular receptors and targets critical in promoting resolution of inflammation and reperfusion tissue injury and establish their relation to human disease".[10]

Awards and honors

Serhan was awarded the John Vane Medal from The William Harvey Research Institute in 2008.[11] In 2016, he received the Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine.[12] He was awarded the International Eicosanoid Research Foundation's 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award.[13] Serhan was the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP) Rous-Whipple Award recipient in 2018[14] and became an Honorary Life Member of the Society for Leukocyte Biology in 2019.[15] In 2022, Serhan delivered the Hans L. Falk Memorial Lecture at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.[16]
