Dr. Ted Dawson received his medical degree and Ph.D. in pharmacology from the University of Utah School of Medicine. He then completed an internship in medicine at the University of Utah Affiliated Hospitals before going to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for a neurology residency. Next, he came to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine where he completed a fellowship in neuroscience and a senior clinical fellowship in movement disorders. Dr. Dawson’s honors include the Derek Denny-Brown Young Neurological Scholar Award, the Paul Beeson Physician Faculty Scholar Award, the Santiago Grisolia Medal, and a Javits Neuroscience Investigator Award. He was elected to the Association of American Physicians and he is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Neurological Association, the American Academy of Neurology, and the American Heart Association. He is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Inventors and an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine. Dr. Dawson's laboratory focuses on neurodegenerative diseases. He pioneered the role of nitric oxide (NO) in neuronal injury in stroke, glutamate excitotoxicity and Parkinson’s disease. He elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which NO kills neurons through the actions of poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymerase and discovered a unique cell death pathway designated parthanatos. His laboratory has made important discoveries on how neurons die in genetic and sporadic models of Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Dawson’s discoveries are enabling clinical strategies for disease modifying therapies for Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease as well as other neurodegenerative diseases.

Dr. Nauder Faraday is a professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His areas of clinical expertise include cardiac anesthesia and surgical intensive care. He serves as director of Perioperative Genomic and Translational Research and director of the Perioperative Hemostasis and Thrombosis Research Laboratory for the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine.After receiving his undergraduate degree from Columbia University, Dr. Faraday earned his medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He completed an internship at the Hospital of St. Raphael at Yale University and a residency in anesthesiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He performed fellowships in critical care medicine and cardiovascular anesthesiology, as well as two research fellowships, at Johns Hopkins. Recently, he earned a Master of Public Health degree from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr. Faraday joined the Johns Hopkins faculty in 1993.Since 2008, Dr. Faraday has worked to build a research program in perioperative genetic and molecular medicine. His goal is to identify molecular determinants of complications of surgery.He serves as an ad hoc reviewer for a number of journals and is a member of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the International Anesthesia Research Society, among others. He was recognized as a Marquis Who’s Who in Medicine and Healthcare in 2011.

Dr. Byron K. Edmond is on faculty at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His area of clinical expertise is anesthesiology. He earned his M.D. from Harvard Medical School and completed an anesthesiology residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
