A Model Physician-Scientist

“A model physician-scientist”

Coleen A. McNamara, MD
Edward W. and Betty Knight Scripps Professor of Internal Medicine
Associate Professor of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics

A colleague writes of Dr. McNamara that she “is a true role model of a physician scientist. By following her instincts, she is in a position to transform research in the field of atherosclerosis – and that is a field that is very hard to make progress in. Her trainees have been first authors of papers and several have won awards at major meetings.”
