Bruce Koeppen, founding dean of the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac, recently received two prestigious awards: honored by the Patient is U Foundation - a nonprofit that aims to encourage human communication in health care and support both patients and providers and the (LCME) Liaison Committee on Medical Education's 2019 Distinguished Service Award. Bruce Stanton received the Unsung Hero Award in 2019 from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. He played a key role in the development of Vertex modulators and is connected with sparking the creation of a Patient Registry which has had an enormous impact on the length and quality of lives in CF patients. Julianne Hall, Assoc. Professor of medical sciences at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University teaches courses, pharmacology, physiology, and pathophysiology. Before joining Quinnipiac, Hall was an assistant professor at the Campbell University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Bules Creek, North Carolina. She has a doctorate in pharmacology from Duke University and a bachelor's degree in biology from Trinity College. Dr. Swiatecka-Urban, Assoc. Prof. of Pediatrics at the University of Pitt, is a designated Nephrotic Syndrome Specialist (NSS) by NephCure Kidney International. The NSS program was created to address the importance of connecting patients to experts earlier in their diagnoses and to simultaneously improve patients' quality of life and advance critical research. Her research spans both renal and respiratory systems.
