Announcement
2014 Carl W. Gottschalk Distinguished Lecturer of the American Physiological Society Renal Section THE AMERICAN PHYSIOLOGICAL Society (APS) Renal Section has selected Susan M. Wall, MD, as this year’s Carl W. Gottschalk Distinguished Lecturer. Dr. Wall will deliver her lecture, “The Role of Pendrin in the Pressor Response to Aldosterone,” at the Experimental Biology 2014 Meeting in San Diego, CA, on Monday, April 28, 2014, at 3:15 p.m. That evening, Dr. Wall will be honored at the Renal Section Dinner. Dr. Wall received her undergraduate degree in chemistry from the University of Seattle and then her M.D. from the St. Louis University School of Medicine. She did her postgraduate medical training in internal medicine and then in nephrology at the Univer- Dr. Susan M. Wall sity of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) hospitals. Dr. Wall’s interest in acid-base transport in the kidney began during her research fellowships at UCLA and then at the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Wall joined the faculty at the University of Texas, Health Sciences Center in 1991 and then moved to Emory University in 2003. Dr. Wall is currently Professor of Medicine and Physiology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. Dr. Wall leads a productive laboratory and has made major contributions to renal physiology as evidenced by the 70 manuscripts, invited reviews, and book chapters that she has published. Dr. Wall has been continuously funded by NIH since 1993 and has generally had two R01s throughout her career. She has given numerous lectures at national and international scientific meetings and has been invited to speak at numerous universities. For the past 25 years, Dr. Wall has studied the renal physiology of H⫹/OH⫺ transporters along the collecting duct. She observed that Na-K-ATPase-mediated NH⫹ 4 uptake across the basolateral membrane of the terminal inner medullary collecting duct is an important source of H⫹ for net acid secretion by this segment during hypokalemia. This work provided a new paradigm for the mechanism of ammonia secretion along the collecting duct. Over the past decade, her focus has been on the role of Cl⫺ transporters in the cortical collecting duct in the renal regulation of blood pressure. In particular, she showed that the Cl⫺/HCO⫺ 3 exchanger, pendrin, is highly regulated by aldosterone and that pendrinmediated transport plays a critical role in the pressor response to aldosterone. Susan has been an active contributor to the APS Renal Section for many years. She served as Renal Section treasurer from 1999 to 2002, as Renal Section Chair from 2002 to 2005, and as an Associate Editor of the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology from 2001 to 2013. In addition, she gives clear and insightful lectures. Dr. Wall is a dedicated scientist whose contributions and service to the field of renal physiology are renowned. The Renal Section is honored to have her present the Gottschalk Distinguished Lecture for 2014. The Gottschalk Selection Committee was composed of Heddwen Brooks (Chair of the Renal Section), Thomas Kleyman (former Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology), and Jen Pluznick (Joint Program Committee representative).
