La Jolla, CA \u2013 Ronald Evans<\/a>, the March of Dimes Chair in Developmental and Cell Biology at the Salk Institute, was named to the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Part of the U.S. National Academies, the IOM each year selects members who have made major contributions to furthering human health and advancing science.<\/p>\n

Evans was one of 65 leaders in these fields named a member of the IOM. Members are expected to serve on institute committees and help prepare reports that guide the U.S. government on health and science issues. Established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine currently has about 1,400 members. <\/p>\n

Evans is the fifth Salk faculty member to be elected into the IOM. The other faculty members are Fred H. Gage, Stephen Heinemann, Wylie Vale and Inder Verma.<\/p>\n

“I’m honored to be selected as a member of his prestigious academy,” Evans said. “I look forward to working on helping the government address some of our most pressing health challenges, including heart disease, obesity and diabetes.”<\/p>\n

Evans is known for his research on molecular pathways that transmit messages to the cell’s DNA and regulate gene expression. His work has resulted in new treatments for diabetes and in experimental remedies for a host of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Evans also was named one of the top ten most-cited scientists in the past 20 years by the Institute for Scientific Information.<\/p>\n

“Members of the Institute of Medicine are elected through a highly selective process that recognizes those who have made major contributions to the advancement of medical sciences, health care, and public health,” said IOM President Harvey V. Fineberg. “Election is considered one of the highest honors in the fields of medicine and health.”<\/p>\n

El Instituto Salk de Estudios Biol\u00f3gicos, ubicado en La Jolla, California, es una organizaci\u00f3n independiente sin fines de lucro dedicada a los descubrimientos fundamentales en las ciencias de la vida, la mejora de la salud y las condiciones de vida de las personas, y la formaci\u00f3n de las futuras generaciones de investigadores. El Dr. Jonas Salk fund\u00f3 el instituto en 1960 gracias a una donaci\u00f3n de terrenos por parte de la ciudad de San Diego y al apoyo financiero de la Fundaci\u00f3n March of Dimes para los Defectos Cong\u00e9nitos.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faculty":[91],"disease-research":[],"class_list":["post-2240","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","hentry","faculty-ronald-evans"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSalk Researcher named to Institute of Medicine - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/es\/news-release\/salk-researcher-named-to-institute-of-medicine\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salk Researcher named to Institute of Medicine - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"La Jolla, CA \u2013 Ronald Evans, the March of Dimes Chair in Developmental and Cell Biology at the Salk Institute, was named to the Institute of Medicine (IOM).
