Lisa Henske, MD |
Elizabeth (Lisa) Petri Henske, MD, director of the Center for LAM Research and Clinical Care, was recently elected president-elect of the Harvard Medical Alumni Association (HMAA).
Henske attended Harvard Medical School (HMS) and was previously a councilor in the HMAA. At BWH, she studies tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and related disorders, including LAM—lymphangioleiomyomatosis, a progressive lung disease that usually strikes women during their childbearing years. She received the Scientific Advancement Award from The LAM Foundation in 2000 and the Medtronic Prize from the Society for Women’s Health Research in 2007 for being “an outstanding scientist whose work has led or will lead directly to the improvement of women’s health.”
The HMAA was established in 1891; its mission is to promote activities that connect HMS alumni with each other and current students.
