Basic & Translational Miniprogram and Neel Lecture Focus on Laryngology/Broncho-Esophagology
Monday, September 30 8:00 am–11:50 am, East Ballroom A Joel H. Blumin, MD, developed the 2013 AAO-HNSF Basic & Translational Research mini-program with the assistance of Clark A. Rosen, MD, chair, Voice Committee, and Milan R. Amin, MD, chair, Airway and Swallowing Committee. The guest speakers are leaders in the field of Laryngology/Broncho-Esophagology. The 2013 Neel Distinguished Research Lecturer, Martin A. Birchall, MD, FRCS, was selected to complement these miniseminars. Miniseminar: Reflux—Pathophysiology to Management Miniseminar: Airway—Advances in Management Miniseminar: Voice—From Cells to Song Miniseminar: Dysphagia—From Science to Clinical Practice Tuesday, October 1 9:30 am-10:30 am, East Ballroom B Neel Distinguished Research Lectureship Martin A. Birchall, MD, FRCS, FMedSci Dr. Birchall’s research revolves around restoration of laryngeal function and understanding of laryngeal inflammation. In 2008, he was co-leader of the team that performed the world’s first stem cell-based organ transplant, an airway in a 30-year-old woman. In 2010, the team replaced the entire trachea in an 11-year-old boy at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London. In October 2010, Dr. Birchall was part of the multinational surgical team at UC Davis that performed the world’s second documented (and first functionally reinnervated) laryngeal transplant, with the recipient now talking and swallowing. Dr. Birchall runs a research program looking at ways of applying stem cells and tissue engineering to disorders of the head and neck, airways, and esophagus. Clinically, he specializes in voice and swallowing disorders, as one of four internationally renowned laryngologists at the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital/Ear Institute. Dr. Birchall was Morgan Stanley/Daily Telegraph Briton of the Year in 2008 (Science and Technology) and was the first ENT surgeon to be elected to the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2010.
