Bayview Scholars

Felipe Andrade, M.D., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Medicine
Division of Rheumatology
Lowe Family Scholar

Dr. Andrade is a world-class immunologist who was recently recruited to lead other basic scientists in the Division of Rheumatology in research.  Specifically, Dr. Andrade is using basic science techniques to define the cause and pathogenesis of a particular form of vasculitis, Wegener’s Granulomatosis.  This research will have significant implications for other autoimmune diseases as well.

Kathleen Barnes, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Medicine
Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
Mary Beryl Patch Turnbull Scholar

Dr. Barnes is a geneticist who is dedicated to helping those who suffer from inflammatory diseases.  She believes the study of genes is important in understanding commonalities across seemingly distinct inflammatory diseases.  By identifying key “mutations”, Dr. Barnes hopes that science will be better able to understand what pathways in the body’s immune system are most important and ultimately pave the way towards more effective treatments.

Bruce S. Bochner, M.D.
Professor of Medicine
Director, Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
Cosner Scholar

In the study of allergies and asthma, Dr. Bochner leads the largest university-based group of physicians and scientists in the world.  His primary research interests include the mechanisms of allergic disease in which he and his faculty have helped develop many new treatments.  Recent successes include DNA-based vaccines that help eliminate allergies.

Cynthia M. Boyd, M.D.
Assistant Professor
Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology
Anonymous Scholar

Dr. Boyd’s research interests are focused on disability, comorbidity, clinical practice guidelines, frailty, hazards of hospitalization and functional recovery for the elderly.  Her clinical interests are in the primary care of chronic illness in older adults, rehabilitation and hospital care of acutely older patients.  The support that Dr. Boyd receives as a Bayview Scholar allows her to continue in her academic career while starting a family.

Linda P. Fried, M.D., M.P.H.
Professor of Medicine
Director, Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology
Cosner Scholar

Widely regarded as one of the premier investigators on aging, Dr. Fried is an elected member of the Institute of Medicine.  By studying the local community, she is able to translate the results of research into “real world” programs that improve the health of seniors.  Her division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology has been ranked #1 in the country by U.S. News and World Report. 

Stuart M. Levine, MD
Assistant Professor of Medicine
Division of Rheumatology
Lowe Family Scholar
 
Dr. Levine directs the Johns Hopkins Vasculitis Center's research laboratory. As a physician-scientist and Lowe Family Scholar, his mission is to try and understand the basic mechanisms underlying the systemic vasculitis syndromes. His research is focused on discovering novel immunologic mechanisms and new genetic markers in Wegener's Granulomatosis, and he works closely with collaborators across the Bayview Campus to achieve these goals.

Cynthia Rand, Ph.D.
Professor of Medicine
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine

Dr. Rand is an internationally recognized expert in the area of medication adherence.  Her research interests focus on psychosocial factors associated with pediatric and adult adherence to asthma therapy, adherence interventions, patient-provider communication, and health disparities.  Her work as a Bayview Scholar will focus on working within the Center to develop a program to help faculty learn how to stimulate and develop interfaces with other faculty; provide critical analysis for CIM; and help define the criteria for measuring the success of the CIM.

Antony Rosen, M.D.
Professor of Medicine
Director, Division of Rheumatology
Cosner Scholar

Dr. Rosen directs a renowned research laboratory dedicated to understanding the biology of diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and other forms of arthritis.  His work, which has been cited as among the most important discoveries in autoimmunity in the last fifty years, is leading to new treatments for several crippling diseases.  His division of Rheumatology has been ranked #1 in the country by U.S. News and World Report. 

Philip Seo, M.D.
Assistant Professor of Medicine
Division of Rheumatology
Lowe Family Scholar

Dr. Seo has dedicated his career to helping those with systemic vasculitis. As a scholar,
he has furthered his studies into researching the causes, early detection, treatment, and
ultimately is hoping that his work will lead to the discovery of a cure for Wegener’s
Granulomatosis. 

Roy C. Ziegelstein, M.D.
Associate Professor of Medicine
Executive Vice Chair, Department of Medicine
Director, Johns Hopkins Bayview Internal Medicine Residency Training Program
Miller Scholar

Dr. Ziegelstein was the inaugural Bayview Scholar.  Dr. Ziegelstein was selected for this award because of his commitment to the mission and values of the medical center.  He has used this award to help promote teaching of and research in patient-doctor communication.  Dr. Ziegelstein has also used this award to bolster his research on depression in patients who have survived heart attacks and to increase medical residents’ awareness of the impact of depression on primary care internal medicine.
