The Miller School family mourns the passing of Louis Lemberg, M.D., a former faculty member who distinguished himself in the field of cardiology and contributed greatly to patient care and medical education. Dr. Lemberg died January 31 at age 95. He joined Jackson Memorial Hospital in 1948 and was appointed to the teaching faculty of the University of Miami Medical School when it opened in 1952.
Enhancing the University’s growing reputation as a research institution, the Miller School of Medicine climbed two spots to No. 39 in the amount of highly coveted research funding awarded by the National Institutes of Health during the 2010-11 federal fiscal year.
