Congratulations to the May 2009 Graduates
The Next Chapter Begins for the Class of 2009
Before the nearly 500 graduates of the class of 2009, University of the Sciences in Philadelphia President Dr. Philip Gerbino called proudly upon the class to seek opportunity and strive to reach their full potential, even as they face "a world of unvertainty and a challenging economy."
"Engage in the crucial debates of our time. Acknowledge and embrace the interdependence of a flat world, a global economy, and finite global resources...You must be part of the remedy," Dr. Gerbino challenged as friends and families of the graduates packed the Mann Center for the Performing Arts at the University's 188th Commencement ceremony on Wednesday, May 20, 2009.
In addition to the conferring degrees to graduates of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, the College of Health Sciences, the Mishner College of Arts and Sciences, the Mayes College of Healthcare Business and Policy, and the College of Graduate Studies, the University also bestowed three honorary doctor of science degrees.
Honorary degree recipients, Fred M. Eckel P'61, MS, RPh, executive director for the North Carolina Assosiation of Pharmacists, and Marilyn Moffat, PT PhD, professor of physical therapy at New York University and president of the World Confederation for Physical Therapy, shared their stories of professional success and imparted experienced wisdom. Britton Chance, PhD, Professor Emeritus at University of Pennsylvania, was granted his degree in absentia.
"As a result of your training in this unique environment, you will have parts to play in this potentially exciting time in health services delivery," said Dr. Moffat. "Your roles will require your openness to new ideas, new technololgy, and new approaches to examination and intervention...Each of you in your own way has the ability to shape your destiny and the destiny of your particular profession."
Alumnus Eckel challenged the graduates to take a few minutes to ponder the questions, "Why am I here?" to begin the process of discovering their life's pupose and the legacy they will leave behind.
Following the stating of the health professional's oath and the pharmacist's oath, this year's valedictorian Carson Brooke Adams Hum '09, addressed his fellow graduates:
"Of all the healtcare professionals I've encountered in my life, I cannot tell you who was the most knowledgeable or the most skillful, but I could tell you who treated me with the most respect and dignity," he said. "In the oaths sworn to today, the ideas of morality and hunmanity are of the upmost importance...I ask you to look beyond the lofty wording of these oaths, and to look at the essence of the precepts included. Not just as a new graduate entering your profession, but also as an individual meant to work in unison with the rest of humankind."
The final award bestowed at the ceremony was the Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching, which was presented to Laura A. Mondos, PharmD, associate professor of clinical pharmacy and assistant dean of the pharmacy programs.
As Dr. Gerbino gave his final address to the class of 2009, he saluted their convictions, courage, enthusiasm, passion, creativity, and dedication, and charged their generation with "restoring peace, trust, understanding, and compassion to this world."
"You have every right to be proud. Look around to your classmates. Each on of them will touch the lives of so many others. You are honored to be in their presence. Your classmates, now colleagues, individually and in aggregate, will be the leaders for your ear and beyond."
As the recessional tune "Trumpet Voluntary" echoed throughout the arena at the end of commencement, the graduates proceeded up the aisles to begin the next chapter of their lives. In a time of economic and enviornmental uncertainty, one thing is for certain: University of the Sciences' class of 2009 is well-prepared for both the challenges and the tremendous opportunities ahead.

New Graduate Programs in the Biological Sciences Focus on Interdisciplinary Research and Learning
PhD and MS degrees in biological sciences enable students to work with genes and proteins in solving real-world problems
To meet a growing need for broadly-trained professionals in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields, the Biological Sciences Graduate Program at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia is crossing traditional academic boundaries in its new degree offerings. The new PhD in cell and molecular biology and a professional MS degree in cell biology and biotechnology provide students with interdisciplinary graduate experiences.
“We’re offering a small program with diverse research opportunities,” said Dr. John R. Porter, graduate programs director, who explained that the degrees fill fundamental niches for the mid-Atlantic region and beyond. The exclusive focus on interdisciplinary research and learning, emphasis on biotechnology, drug discovery and delivery, and a vast and varied range of topics and disciplines, differentiate the program from other regional offerings.
The graduate tracks provide opportunities for advanced learning in cell biology, molecular biology and genetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, biochemistry and structural biology, and the business applications that support these pursuits.
“In the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, interest in individuals who specialize within a single focus is waning,” Dr. Porter said. “Instead, these industries are increasingly looking for professionals trained across multiple disciplines who can work in several facets.”
· With a PhD in cell and molecular biology, students are exposed to multiple disciplines and guided through the understanding of complex biological systems. The program prepares students for advanced research as well as supervisory positions in industry, government service, or academia.
· The professional MS combines courses in the scientific fields with key business courses that prepare students for management positions in industry, advanced training in related fields such as patent law, marketing or medicine, technical positions; or further education leading to PhD, MD, or MD/PhD degrees.
“The program’s interdisciplinary approach throughout graduate education places students at the forefront of knowledge of cell and molecular biology, and shapes them into career scientists of high value to industry, government, and academia,” Dr. Porter said.
These degree options were added to the already successful cell biology and biotechnology MS and MS (non-thesis) degree options. All of the graduate programs use evening courses to make the degrees accessible to the working student. A certificate in biotechnology is under development.

American Chemical Society Meeting Brings University Contingent
|
When the fall 2008 National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) convened on August 17, faculty and students from the University's Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry were well represented. All told eight faculty members and another three research associates and postdoctoral fellows, presented posters, talks, or attended the event. Additionally, nine graduate and three undergraduate students participated in poster presentations, joined by two recent alumni.
Dr. Preston Moore, who directs the West Center for Computational Chemistry and Drug Design, presided over one of the sessions held in the Physical Chemistry division in addition to giving three talks. Dr. Alexander Sidorenko also co-chaired a session in the Polymeric Materials Division, in addition to giving one talk and presenting a poster on his research.
“The ACS national fall meeting is the largest scientific meeting focused on the chemical sciences in the world, with anywhere from 12,000 to 15,000 scientists in attendance,” said Dr. Ed Birnbaum, who chairs the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, “and the USP contingent of faculty and students attending this year’s meeting is probably the largest ever.”
The 236th ACS National Meeting & Exposition is taking place August 17-21, 2008, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center and hotels around the city. The technical program featured original programming hosted by 31 technical divisions, one secretariat, three committees, and the ACS president and will include thematic programming around "Chemistry for Health: Catalyzing Translational Research."

Alumni Give USP Students Career Advice
Thinking about your post-college plans can be overwhelming; even within one program of study, there can be dozens of possible career paths. To help students navigate this sea of choices, three successful USP alumni shared their experiences and offered advice during a career panel on December 6.
|
Joseph M. Betz, PhD, P’88, recalled the long and unpredictable journey that led him to his current position at the National Institutes of Health as director of the analytical methods and reference materials program in the office of dietary supplements. “Things never go exactly the way you expect them to,” Dr. Betz professed. “I thought that I’d be out on a ship at sea directing a research program at this point in my career, but it’s completely different.”
After earning his bachelor’s degree in biology from USP in 1976, Dr. Betz went to Long Island University for his Master’s degree in marine and environmental science. While his original interest was in field biology and zoology, he began studying venomous and poisonous sea life throughout his Master’s coursework. When he was ready to pursue his PhD, a mentor at Long Island University suggested he contact USP’s Ara DerMarderosian, PhD.
“My PhD project at USP was to isolate and characterize the compounds in a jellyfish that are responsible for antibiotic activity,” explained Dr. Betz. “I was making preparations to be an academic scientist in a marine drug discovery program.” However, due to an unexpected weather pattern in the Gulf of Mexico, the jellyfish he needed to perform his research were not available for an entire year. As an alternative, he helped Dr. DerMarderosian evaluate ginseng products. When nearing the end of his PhD program, Dr. Betz applied to several marine research centers but ultimately ended up at the FDA.
“It is important to be active in professional societies, even as a student, because the people that you meet often turn out to be career opportunities,” said Dr. Betz. “If I emphasize anything to you, it’s to make and keep your connections.” While at a chemistry conference in Atlantic City, he met some representatives from the FDA and was offered a two-year post-doctoral job shortly thereafter. He remained at the FDA for 10 years until moving on to his next role as a vice president at an herbal products trade association. “The importance of networking, meeting other people, and being active in your professional societies is vitally important. This is where you meet the people who are either looking to hire somebody, or know somebody else looking to hire.”
Susan Pytel, MPT’99, is a senior physical therapist for MARC Children’s Services and a consultant with the Spring Valley YMCA working on their developing special needs program. She specializes in physical therapy for babies ages birth through three. One of her current projects involves designing a playground for the YMCA specifically made for children with physical disabilities and challenges.
“Right when I had decided I wanted to do physical therapy, a notorious TIME magazine article came out hailing physical therapy as the ‘job of the future,’” Pytel recalled. “There were only five schools in the nation with a MPT program like USP’s, but by the time I graduated five years later, the market was flooded with physical therapists.” With an influx of recent PT graduates in the job market, Pytel and her classmates could not be as choosey about their first job. This lack of options led her to take a position that she probably would have never taken if she had her choice. Although it was disappointing at first, she admits that things actually worked out better because she was forced to try something different.
For the past seven years, Pytel has been working in early intervention visiting disabled children at their homes. “I get to be a part of the children’s lives more than I would be able to in a hospital setting,” she said. “I’m a part of their family and I like that close relationship I develop with the parents and child.”
The event’s third guest, Jean Surian, P’84, PhD’90, is the associate principal scientist and global drug delivery manager at AstraZeneca. She is responsible for accessing external drug delivery technologies for AstraZeneca research as well as the development and commercial applications for all types of pharmaceutical dosage forms. Her background in pharmacy helps her develop products from the perspective of the patient. “I’ve always had the patient focus,” said Dr. Surian. “One of the things I always ask when developing a new product is, ‘What’s that going to taste like?”
At the close of the seminar, the panelists offered advice on internships and stressed the importance of gaining work experience while in school. “Choose your internship very wisely,” advised Pytel. “It’s going to be your best opportunity to be a sponge and just soak everything up.”
“All the majors here at USP give you such a fundamental background and solid foundations that once you graduate you can go into practically any science-based field,” Dr. Betz told the students. “Let your horizons be as wide as you can imagine because you’ve got the background and the know-how.”
Dr. Surian said she enjoys coming back to USP to see the changing campus and speak with the students. “USP has such a family-oriented philosophy, and it still is that way even as it grows. It still comes down to the people at the school and it feels like a family. It feels like you’re coming home when you’re an alumnus coming back to the school.”

Health Care Regulation in America: Complexity, Confrontation, and Compromise
Breakthrough publication by The College of Graduate Studies Health Policy Director
Robert I. Field, JD, MPH, PhD, Oxford University Press, 2007
Regulation shapes all aspects of America's fragmented health care industry, from the flow of dollars to the communication between physicians and patients. It is the engine that translates public policy into action. While the health and lives of patients, as well as almost one-sixth of the national economy depend on its effectiveness, health care regulation in America is bewilderingly complex. Government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels direct portions of the industry, but hundreds of private organizations do so as well. Some of these overseers compete with one another, some conflict, and others collaborate. Their interaction is as important to the provision of health care as are the laws and rules they implement.
Health Care Regulation in America is a guide to this regulatory maze. It succinctly recaps the past and present conflicts that have guided the oversight of each industry segment over the past hundred years and explains the structure of regulation today. To make the system comprehensible, this book also presents the sweep of regulatory policy in the context of the interests, values, goals, and issues that guide it. Chapters cover the process of regulation and each key area of regulatory focus - professionals, institutions, financing arrangements, drugs and devices, public health, business relationships, and research.

Using Computers to Unlock the Secrets of Molecules
The West Center for Computational Chemistry and Drug Design
Article by Shawn J. Farrell
Chemistry Lab. For many, the words conjure up a bevy of images and memories: the hiss of a Bunsen burner, scratched safety goggles, and a lab filled with white coats and unique aromas-where knowing how to properly dispose of toxic waste is as important as knowing the Periodic Table.
It is this atmosphere that drove a young chemistry undergraduate into the University's hub of theory, the West Center for Computational Chemistry and Drug Design. "It was the thought of having to wear safety glasses that drove me to Preston Moore's office," says Raeanne Napolen (C'05). "And," she adds upon consideration, "a love for theoretical research and tackling big problems."
