Medical school, UHC to dedicate new bipolar research center

Case Western Reserve University's new bipolar research center-the first of its kind in the country to receive funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)-will be dedicated during a ceremony at 10 a.m. September 29 in the Frohring Auditorium of the Biomedical Research Building.

Joseph R. Calabrese, professor of psychiatry, and Robert L. Findling, associate professor of psychiatry, have been awarded a $2.7 million research grant from NIMH to develop the Center for Bipolar Disorder at Case and University Hospitals of Cleveland.

Silver to be honored for research in neurosciences

Professor Jerry Silver of the Case School of Medicine has been awarded one of the highest achievements in the neurosciences.

He has been selected as the recipient of the 2003 Ameritec Prize for a significant accomplishment toward a cure for paralysis.

The prize recognizes his major contribution to the field of neurosciences by demonstrating that degenerating white matter that develops after a spinal cord injury does not always inhibit nerve regrowth.
