Our Team

Meet the Scientific Advisory Committee and Leadership.

To assist Stuart and Maxine Frankel in achieving their vision, Dean Marschall Runge, MD, PhD, has assembled a world-renowned group of scientists and technology development professionals to serve as advisors to the Frankel Innovation Initiative program and provide their expertise and guidance to Frankel investigators.

In addition to reviewing project proposals, selecting awardees, and mentoring investigators, the Scientific Advisory Committee will leverage their vast experience to harness the creative ingenuity of the Frankel investigators and help direct the translation from cutting-edge innovation to life-saving medical practice.

We would like to extend our appreciation to the members of the Scientific Advisory Committee. The generous donation of their time, insight, and knowledge is key to the success of the Frankel Innovation Initiative.
