This week, Dean Mary Klotman, MD, welcomes Kafui Dzirasa, MD/PhD, the A. Eugene and Marie Washington Presidential Distinguished Professor to discuss his research into the underpinnings of mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia, as well as his work to expand diversity in biomedical science. But first, Dean Klotman gives an update on the relieving of most masking requirements at Duke; shares the great news about Duke’s pioneering heart transplant method; and invites everyone to take part in the University’s Juneteeth activities, and to attend the annual State of the School address next Wednesday.
