Congratulations to Quan Lu, MEMCARE-SRC PI and professor of environmental genetics and physiology at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Lu was appointed Cecil K. and Philip Drinker Professor of Environmental Physiology, effective January 1, 2023. His laboratory studies molecular mechanisms underlying complex gene-environment interactions in multigenic human diseases such as asthma and neurodegeneration, focusing on the emerging role of extracellular vesicles in disease pathogenesis, prevention, and therapeutics. His current work surrounds his discovery of a novel intrinsic mechanism known as ARRDC1-Mediated Microvesicles, which plays a key role in intercellular signaling and inter-tissue communication and holds potential as a platform for therapeutic delivery into diseased cells. The endowed Cecil K. and Philip Drinker Professorship honors former dean of the faculty the late Cecil Kent Drinker and his younger brother and former chair of the Department of Industrial Hygiene (now the Department of Environmental Health) the late Philip Drinker. The Professorship was created in 1975 through the merger of two funds established by the late James H. Rand, Jr.
