New Dean Praises 'Internal Collaboration' at U of Buffalo
Michael E. Cain, M.D., has been named Dean of the University of Buffalo's School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, effective November 1.
Cain comes to Buffalo from Washington University in St. Louis, where he is currently the Tobias and Hortense Lewin Professor of Medicine and Director of the Cardiovascular Program. He has also served as a professor of biomedical engineering.
Cain is highly regarded for his accomplishments as a researcher, clinician, manager, and educator. Satish K. Tripathi, UB provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, told a local paper that Cain is expected to "provide the vision and leadership to realize the goal of [turning the UB School of Medicine into] a top-tier, nationally ranked medical school recognized for its integrated health-sciences approach to medical education and innovative biomedical research."
Dr. Cain was impressed by UB's commitment to excellence and internal collaboration. He hopes that these strengths can be combined with strategic planning to promote innovative, inter-disciplinary approaches to medicine and science.
UB is part of the State University of New York system. The School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences is committed to training both researchers and practitioners. The goal of its M.D. program is to prepare "undifferentiated" graduates who are prepared to enter and excel in any existing or emerging medical field.
