Columbia alumnus named 2009 Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Scholar!
Columbia MSTP Alumnus Paul Planet, M.D., Ph.D. was one of four P&S physician scientists who was selected as a winner of the 2009 Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Scholars Program award.
Designed to support physician-scientists in their goal of bringing new treatments to patients, the initiative awarded its first group of winners in 2008.
A committee, chaired by Dr. Robert Kass, selected this year's winners after reviewing 43 applications from 12 departments.
Paul J. Planet, M.D., Ph.D., a fellow in pediatric infectious disease in the Department of Pediatrics,
will apply his microbial bioinformatics skills to finding pathogens in cystic fibrosis.
He will work with Dr. Alice Prince to define the microbial flora of the lung in cystic fibrosis from the time when young children acquire infection.
Findings from this work could lead to novel targets for therapy to prevent as well as optimize treatment for cystic fibrosis patients.
Dr. Planet majored in both biochemistry and anthropology at Yale University, and received his M.D. and Ph.D. from P&S in the
Integrated Program for Cellular, Molecular and Biophysical Studies.
In 2005 he began a residency in pediatrics at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of NYPH/Columbia.
He began his fellowship in pediatric infectious disease in 2008, upon completion of his residency.
