    The McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine applauds its affiliated faculty members who were recently recognized by Pittsburgh Magazine. Each year the magazine commissions Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. to select top doctors on the national and regional levels. The physician-led research team identifies highly skilled, exceptional doctors by evaluating their medical education, training, and hospital appointments, and by surveying area hospital leaders and physicians.

    This year 30 McGowan Institute affiliated faculty were recognized in the May issue of the magazine with 3 colleagues* receiving dual specialty acknowledgment. Congratulations are extended to:

    Anesthesiology:  Erin Sullivan, MD
    Cardiovascular Disease:  Dennis McNamara, MD, John Pacella, MD
    Critical Care Medicine:  Derek Angus, MD, MPH, John Kellum, MD, FACP
    Neurological Surgery:  David Okonkwo, MD, PhD, Mark Richardson, MD, PhD,* Elizabeth Tyler-Kabara, MD, PhD*
    Neurology:  Mark Richardson, MD, PhD
    Obstetrics and Gynecology:  Pamela Moalli, MD, PhD
    Orthopedic Surgery:  Freddie Fu, MD, MaCalus Hogan, MD, Patrick McMahon, MD, Kurt Weiss, MD
    Otolaryngology: Barry Hirsch, MD, Carl Snyderman, MD, MBA
    Pathology:  Anthony Demetris, MD
    Pediatric Cardiology:  Jacqueline Kreutzer, MD
    Pediatric Gastroenterology:  Sohail Z. Husain, MD
    Pediatric Neurological Surgery:  Elizabeth Tyler-Kabara, MD, PhD
    Pediatric Surgery:  George Gittes, MD, George Mazariegos, MD

    Thoracic Surgery:  Thomas Gleason, MD, James Luketich, MD

    Also, in this year’s issue Dr. Mazariegos was featured for his work supporting living-donor liver transplants for pediatric patients.  Per Kate Benz, Pittsburgh Magazine, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC performs more living-donor liver transplants than any other pediatric transplant center in the country, having done more than 135 procedures since the program’s inception in 1981. The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients has ranked Children’s as the best out of 62 of the country’s pediatric liver transplant centers in terms of one-year overall survival for both the patient and the liver graft.

    “What we really want is that every child gets the liver that they need at the right time,” says Dr. Mazariegos. “Living donation can be a lifesaving therapy for many children, so we want to extend that to as many kids as can benefit from it.”

    Congratulations, all!
