Contratulations Ke!
Ke Yuan, second from left, receives the AHA Cournand and Comroe Award, the top award for a young investigator offered by the AHA 3CPR Council for her work on pulmonary hypertension.
2014 - Ke Yuan, Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Stanford was awarded the 2014 AHA Cournand and Comroe Award at the American Heart Association Scientific Session annual council dinner in Chicago this November for her research: “Activation of the Wnt/Planar Cell Polarity Pathway is Required for Pericyte Recruitment During Pulmonary Angiogenesis.” The award acknowledges the research and accomplishments of early career investigator members of the council and encourages them to continue their research in biomedical sciences. This is the top young investigator award offered by the AHA 3CPR Council for her work on pulmonary hypertension. This is a very competitive award that requires submission of a fully completed manuscript to be considered as a finalist followed by an oral presentation to a panel of judges. Ke did an outstanding presentation and deserves congratulations on this very prestigious award.
2013 - Congratulations to Jack Takahashi - finalist in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) competition for his project entitled "Breathe Deeply". Jack completed his project in Dr. Vinicio de Jesus Perez's lab under his mentorship.
Congratulations Allyson!
President and CEO Amir Dan Rubin and Allyson Rupp, LCSW, Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic, visited before the December Managers Meeting at which he presented her with the December Service Spotlight Award.
2011 - "Allyson Rupp, LCSW, should be awarded for her truly tireless devotion to our patients. She proactively addresses all aspects of our patients care to ensure their needs are being met. She works into the evening daily and each weekend while managing a household with two children. I am impressed by her daily. In our clinic, we care for pulmonary hypertension patients. Pulmonary hypertension is a disease curable only by transplantation..."

Congratulations to Dr. Vinicio de Jesus Perez!
- Dr. Vinicio de Jesus Perez received the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions Award for Best Basic Science abstract in 2008.
Congratulations to Juliana Liu, RN, ANP!
- Juliana was honored with the designation of "Employee of the Month" at Stanford University Medical Center, November 2008. She was also featured on the Stanford e-Nursing Newsletter, June 2008 as "Magnet Nurse".
Congratulations to Dr. Marlene Rabinovitch!
- Dr. Marlene Rabinovitch received the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2008 Recognition Award for Scientific Accomplishment. The Recognition Award is bestowed only upon those with lifelong outstanding scientific contributions to the understanding, prevention, and treatment of lung disease. The award was presented at the ATS International Conference in Toronto on “Novel prospects for the Reversibility of Pulmonary Hypertension.” Congratulations to Dr. Rabinovitch for this well deserved accomplishment.

Congratulations to Jack Takahashi!
Jack is one of the finalists in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search (Intel STS) competition for his project entitled "Breathe Deeply". This is a great achievement as more than 3,000 students enter each year and only 40 are chosen to traveled to Washington to present their projects to scientific leaders who will judge their project. In addition, Jack made a very strong commitment to educating his audience about PAH which included our president Barack Obama! He completed his project in Dr. Vinicio de Jesus Perez's lab under his mentorship.

Dr. Rabinovitch receives research award from the Cardiovascular Medical Research and Education Fund (CMREF)
Rabinovitch LabDr. Marlene Rabinovitch has received a five year award from the Cardiovascular Medical Research and Education Fund (CMREF). Dr. Rabinovitch and the Wall Center Team, in collaboration with UCSF and the University of Toronto, will serve as a transplant and preparation center studying the lungs from patients with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPAH) as well as secondary forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension and control patients without pulmonary hypertension. To learn more about Dr. Rabinovitch’s research click here.
The Cardiovascular Medical Research and Education Fund was created as a non-profit fund operated solely for charitable, scientific and educational purposes. The CMREF mission is the support of research to uncover the etiology and pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH, or PPH), in pursuit of the ultimate goal of its treatment and cure. The immediate objectives are a) to define the cellular basis of IPAH through the study of affected lung tissue, b) to describe the molecular pathways involved in the disease, and c) to identify genetic associations with the IPAH clinical phenotype.
