On February 24, 2009, 19 students were inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society. Regina-Celeste Ahmad, MS4 introduced the AOA Visiting Professor Dr. Patrick Brown, MD’82, PhD’80 to her fellow AOA honorees:
“Dr. Brown’s successful career exemplifies the tenets upon which AOA was founded. He is a leader in his field, compelled to ask fundamental and far-reaching questions that have changed the world’s view of genetics. He is a professional, repeatedly recognized and honored by his peers. Finally, he is committed to public service, cultivating social awareness of issues surrounding public access to biomedical literature and actively seeking ways in which to improve scientific communication. We have also come to learn that he is an eternal optimist. And that trait, combined with a creative drive to propel forward scientific progress, has been a recipe for success.” Dr. Brown is a professor at Stanford University and a national leader in DNA microarray technology.
