The Life and Work of Dr. Solomon Featured in UT Achievement Magazine
Alan Solomon, MD, Professor of Medicine and Director, Human Immunology and Cancer Program, has been recognized by the UT Graduate School of Medicine and beyond for his excellence in basic science research. He is a world-renowned physician in amyloidosis research, spending much of his career searching for answers to currently incurable diseases and making discoveries that put the Graduate School of Medicine on the cutting-edge of research.
While many people may be familiar with his accolades, they may not know why he chose to study medicine, why he is committed to finding a cure for amyloidosis, or that he finds peace and healing in working with stone and creating his nationally acclaimed garden. The Fall 2010 Achievement, a magazine for alumni and supporters of UT, tells Dr. Solomon's story in, "Hands of a Healer: Demystifying the Mysteries of Incurable Diseases, Dr. Alan Solomon Finds Beauty in the Roughest Places."
