Marc Levine, MD, Professor of Radiology at the
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine has
received an Eminent Scientist of the Year 2006 award
from the International Research Promotion Council (IRPC)
in India. The award is based on his clinical expertise
and research excellence in the field of gastrointestinal
radiology. The IRPC presents the World Scientists Forum
awards annually by selecting recipients whose work has
had a positive impact on medical care throughout the
world, especially in developing countries.
Levine has served as the chief of the gastrointestinal
section in the Department of Radiology at the Hospital
of the University of Pennsylvania since 1998.
Additionally, in 2004, Levine was appointed as an
advisory dean in the University of Pennsylvania School
of Medicine, a position in which he is responsible for
advising and mentoring one-fourth of each medical school
class.
Levine has been a prolific researcher in all areas of
gastrointestinal radiology, co-authoring 189 original
scientific articles and 108 chapters, review articles,
and editorials in the medical literature, including
seminal papers on the radiographic findings of HIV
esophagitis, herpes esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus,
NSAID-induced erosive gastritis, Helicobacter pylori
gastritis, and gastric MALT lymphoma. He also has been a
leading proponent of double-contrast barium studies for
evaluating the gastrointestinal tract and has authored
or co-edited several of the major texts in his field,
including Radiology of the Esophagus, the 2nd and 3rd
editions of Double Contrast Gastrointestinal Radiology,
and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd editions of Textbook of
Gastrointestinal Radiology (all published and translated
into multiple languages by W. B. Saunders).
Levine is a frequent invited lecturer in
gastrointestinal radiology, having participated as a
speaker at 106 postgraduate courses and as a Visiting
Professor 134 times at institutions around the world. He
also has given nine named lectureships and personally
organized an international education outreach program in
Montevideo, Uruguay in 2003 to educate radiologists in
that country about the most current concepts in
gastrointestinal radiology.
Levine has received numerous awards and honors including
the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Award for
distinguished teaching at the University of Pennsylvania
School of Medicine in 2003, the highest teaching award
given to a member of the medical school faculty. He
served on the Board of Directors for The Society of
Gastrointestinal Radiologists from 1998 to 2004 and as
President of this international organization in 2004.
The Consumer Research Council of America named him as
one of "America's Top Physicians" in 2005.
