Professor Isobel Russell, MD, PhD, has been honored with The Edward A. Dickson Emeritus Professorship Award, for the 2018 - 2020 award cycle. Created by a gift endowment from the late Edward A. Dickson, Regent of the University of California from 1913 to 1946, the Dickson Emeritus Professorship Award honors outstanding research, scholarly work, teaching, or public service activities by a UCSF emeritus/a professor that have continued since retirement. The highest priority is for support of activities that benefit the campus and for which funding is not available from other sources. Dr. Russell’s project is focused on “Applied 3-D Technologies.” Professor Adrian Gelb, MB, ChB, was also awarded the professorship for the 2017 – 2019 cycle, for his proposal, “Medicine Fostering Quality and Safety in Anesthetic Practice in the Developing World.”
