Dr. Emily Miller, physician-scientist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is working to outsmart future pandemic-capable coronaviruses—before they reach humans. She explains how her research targets a hidden, conserved part of the coronavirus spike protein (S2) to develop vaccines and therapies that could potentially work against a wide range of future versions of novel coronaviruses including variants of SARS-CoV-2. Dr. Miller shares her journey from MD/PhD student at Einstein to infectious disease doctor and faculty researcher, and how her work bridges the lab and the clinic. Discover why targeting viruses before they jump to humans is a key component to pandemic preparedness.

The 71st Spirit of Achievement Awards Luncheon honored Teresa Bowman, PhD, Chair of the Department of Developmental and Molecular Biology (DMB) at Albert Einstein College of Medicine for her leading-edge research using zebrafish to study blood systems in search of a cure for blood cancers. Dr. Bowman is also a Professor of DMB, of Oncology, and of Medicine at Einstein. She is also a member of the Ruth L. and David S. Gottesman Institute for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine and a member of Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Bowman’s research focuses on understanding how blood stem cells form, how they function, and how their dysfunction contributes to blood cancers. Her lab uses a highly integrative strategy combining zebrafish genetics, human cell culture, and genomics approaches to better understand basic cellular functions and how diseases such as myelodysplastic syndrome arise. She is a dedicated mentor and advocate to scientists of all ages from high school students to junior faculty.
