NORMAN LASKER, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, received his medical degree from the University of Illinois in 1953. He completed his internship at Mount Sinai Hospital and his residency at Iersey City Medical Center. Dr. Lasker's past projects and scientific papers have dealt principally with hypo- natremia and renal hypertension. At present, his group is actively engaged in two projects: The first is an attempt to standardize the conditions under which split renal function studies are performed, and the second is a pilot study of chronic peritoneal dialysis. Its aim is to determine the practicality and efficacy of this approach to end-stage renal disease as compared to chronic hemodialysis. 5 'in Q Q, s LL... ,.11.ia.. n.- RALPH HEIMER, Ph.D., serves as Associate Professor of Medicine and Biochemistry. He gradu- ated from City College of New York in 1948 and received his Ph.D. from Columbia in 1956. He then served on the faculty at Cornell until 1953 when he came to the New Jersey College of Medicine. Dr. I-Ieimer's special interests in protein chemistry, particularly as it relates to the structure and func- tion of antibodies, is rapidly making him an author- ity in the Held of Rheumatology. Most medical students greatly appreciated Dr. Heimer's availa- bility and patience as they floundered through their laboratory experiments in Sophomore Biochemistry. JOHN I. CALABRO, M.D., came to jersey City Medical Center in 1956 as Chief Medical Resident. The previous year he had held the same position on the Harvard service at Boston City Hospital. Dr. Calabro then continued his training in Rheuma- tology at Hammersmith Hospital, London, England, and Massachusetts General Hospital. Returning to Jersey City in 1958, he became Assistant Professor of Medicine. Among his numerous monographs, his description of foot manifestations in Rheumatoid Arthritis is considered classic. His lecture series is always one of the high spots of the junior medi- cal clerkship. Dr. Calabro's active participation in many local and national medical societies makes him one of the busiest members of the faculty. 'I37

With the beginning of this academic year, Dr. McA'Nulty moved his base of operations to Dr. Henneman's endocrine unit Where he is now engaged in some of the re- search and clinical aspects of that sub- specialty. Having devoted his time primarily to the Held of medical educa- tion in the past, Dr. McA'Nulty still maintains an interest in that area but plans to devote most of his time in the immediate future to endocrinology.
