Levey, MD, and Gerald S. Levey, MD, endowed chair in medicine. Mangione is one of four UCLA phsyicians elected to the Association in 2022; the other honoress are neurologist Dr. Timothy Cloughesy, infectious disease specialist Dr. Judith Currier, and cardiologist Dr. Kalyanam Shivkumar. Their election brings to 38 the number of AAP members from UCLA and the David School of Medicine at UCLA.

Dr. Carol Mangione is a pioneer in understanding how system-level interventions, benefit design and cost sharing affect quality and outcomes for people with diabetes. She has identified system and patient-level approaches that may mitigate health disparities for racial/ethnic minorities, older persons, and people with chronic diseases or visual disability.

Dr. Timothy Cloughesy is an innovator in treatment of brain tumors, working across basic and clinical domains to bring disease-altering therapies into the clinic. He has led seminal clinical trials increasing patient survival and is the co-founder, developer and global principal investigator for a revolutionary adaptive platform trial for cancer.

Dr. Judith Currier has helped to improve care for people with HIV. She played a leadership role in trials that defined when prophylaxis for opportunistic infections could be stopped, identified strategies to optimize antiretroviral therapy in adults and pregnant women, and identified risks and interventions to reduce long-term complications of HIV.

Dr. Kalyanam Shivkumar is a physician-scientist specializing in interventional cardiac electrophysiology. His research deals with fundamental aspects of cardiac neural control. He has pioneered the field of clinical neurocardiology and the translation of neuromodulation therapies to the clinical setting. He has also promoted the concept of the “internet of the human body” to highlight key biological principles underlying control of all the organs by the nervous system.

“I am very pleased that these outstanding physician scientists have received this well-deserved honor,” said Dr. Steven Dubinett, interim dean of the Geffen School of Medicine.

The Association of American Physicians is an honorary society founded in 1885 for “the advancement of scientific and practical medicine.” Election to the organization is extended to physicians with outstanding credentials in basic or translational biomedical research.
