  Next in our Black History Month profiles: Griffin Rodgers '76 MD'79. Dr. Rodgers is the director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), where he oversees a staff of 630 and a budget of $2.25 billion. A native of New Orleans, Dr. Rodgers developed a passion for medicine and science after going on home visits with his mother, a public health nurse. As a teen, Dr. Rodgers watched 3 friends suffer and die from sickle cell disease. He trained as a hematologist and focused his research on #sicklecell. His research contributed to the development of the first effective, FDA-approved drug for the treatment of sickle cell, hydroxyurea. He also oversaw a clinical trial using stem cell transplants that reversed the disease in a majority of patients, which could open a new potential avenue for therapeutics. Dr. Rodgers' vision for NIDDK includes supporting pivotal research as well as bring in a steady pool of diverse investigators from all backgrounds. During the pandemic, he's joined with his fellow director Dr. Anthony Fauci to provide info to the public about #covid-19. The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) honored Dr. Rodgers with the Research Service Award, which recognizes individuals whose work has significantly advanced gastroenterological science and research. Dr. Rodgers' work has an impact on the health of the entire nation and we are proud to call him an alum! #BlackHistoryMonth #blackexcellence ... See MoreSee Less
