SUMMARY:PMI Leadership Announcement
DESCRIPTION:Announcing the appointment of Erika L. F. Holzbaur\, PhD\, as the new Director of the Pennsylvania Muscle Institute\n \nI am pleased to join with Dr. Kevin Foskett\, Chair of the Department of Physiology\, to announce the appointment of Dr. Erika L. F. Holzbaur as the new director of the Pennsylvania Muscle Institute (PMI)\, effective May 1\, 2024. Dr. Holzbaur is a world-renowned scientist with a research program focused on the cytoskeleton and dynamics of organelle transport in neurons.  As former program chair of the Cell Biology\, Physiology\, and Metabolism graduate program\, and former president of the American Society for Cell Biology\, Dr. Holzbaur brings a proven track record of leading and fostering strong collaboration within scientific communities. Her skills and collaborative spirit make her a perfect fit to lead the PMI in its mission. \nAs PMI director\, Dr. Holzbaur will lead an interdisciplinary group of research investigators from PSOM and across the Penn campus.  Established more than half a century ago\, the mission of the PMI is to discover the mechanisms of muscle function\, muscle disease and motile biological systems; develop state-of-the art technologies for the study of muscle and motile systems; and provide education and training in muscle biology and motility to scientists\, physicians\, and students.  Research is conducted by its more than 50 laboratories using biophysics\, biochemistry\, genetics\, physiology and ultrastructure to understand cell migration and intracellular transport\, molecular motors\, cell division\, muscle contraction and development\, muscle pathologies and therapies targeted to muscle disease. \nFor more information about Dr. Holzbaur’s impressive background\, please see her bio below. \nHaving directed the PMI for the last 14 years\, collaborating with exceptional scientists like Dr. Holzbaur has been a highlight of my career.  I have every confidence that she will further elevate the rich scientific and mentoring environment for which the PMI is known. Please join in thanking Dr. Holzbaur for serving in this important leadership role. \nThank you\, \nMike \nE. Michael Ostap\, PhD\nProfessor of Physiology\nInterim Senior Vice Dean and Chief Scientific Officer\, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania\n[See the announcement on the website of the Office of the Chief Scientific Officer]
