Dear UMassD Community,

The UMass Dartmouth Career Center has big plans for UMassD students.

Yang Wang, MD, PhD, professor of medicine and deputy director of product discovery at MassBiologics of UMass Chan Medical School, leads a team of scientists working to discover and develop antibody-based medicines for infectious diseases and to understand drug resistance in those medicines.

“The world is full of viruses that can cause human disease,” said Dr. Wang. “Some of them are well known, such as the flu virus, while others are new, such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that can cause COVID-19.”

Chancellor Michael F. Collins named Mary Munson, PhD, the recipient of the 2022 Chancellor’s Award for Advancing Institutional Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion at the 34th annual Martin Luther King Jr. tribute at UMass Chan Medical School on Jan. 24.

Back in early 2020, few would have imagined work, school or community life would be carried out largely over video screens. Few in medicine would have foreseen the never-ending pressure of a virus that keeps threatening to overwhelm the health care system.

And few would have imagined that even a year after vaccines and treatments became available, much of life’s routines would still be dictated by COVID-19.
