Dr. Eileen Scully has been named Co-Director of the Physician Scientist Pathway (PSP) in the Department of Medicine. She will succeed Dr. Rachel Damico, whose efforts in this role significantly advanced the PSP, and will join Dr. Ramana Sidhaye in leading the pathway and nurturing the next generation of physician scientist in the DOM.
Dr. Scully is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases where she cares for people living with HIV and leads a lab focused on the immunopathogenesis of HIV and the impact of sex on immune responses to viral infections. She earned her MD and PhD in immunobiology from Yale University and trained in internal medicine and infectious diseases at the Brigham and Women’s and Massachusetts General Hospitals (MGH) followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at the Ragon Institute of MGH, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. After a few years as a junior faculty member at Harvard, Dr. Scully joined Hopkins in 2016 and has been building her translational research and caring for patients in the Bartlett Clinic and on the Polk Inpatient Service. She is eager to support the development of physician scientists in the Osler Medical Residency and the Bayview Internal Medicine Residency Program and work to grow the PSP program.
We are grateful to Dr. Damico for her many years of service to the DOM Physician Scientist Pathway and to our residents, and we wish her the best as she takes on new opportunities at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
