Paul Doering, M.S., a distinguished service professor in pharmacotherapy and translational research at the UF College of Pharmacy, may have retired in 2011 — but his excellence in teaching lives on.

In honor of Paul’s 35 years of service to the college and his unwavering dedication to mentoring and educating generations of pharmacy students, the college is creating the “Paul Doering Excellence in Teaching Professorship” to recognize a faculty member whose dedication to student learning is exemplary.

“Paul always asked me ‘what type of pharmacist do you want to be?’ and that made me work a bit harder,” said UF Pharmacy alumna Pat Kipp. “Because of Paul I have always challenged myself and as a result have had a successful career.”

A new gene therapy method developed by University of Florida researchers, William W. Hauswirth, Ph.D. and Alfred S. Lewin, Ph.D., has the potential to reverse a common form of blindness that strikes young children. The technique works by replacing a malfunctioning gene in the eye with a working copy that supplies a protein needed for light-sensitive cells in the eye to function. The findings are published Monday, Jan. 23 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences online. Several complex and costly steps remain before the gene therapy technique can be used in humans, but once at that stage, it could have great potential to change lives.
