Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Daniel J. Rubin, MD, MSc, FACE, Professor of Medicine, as Co-Director for the Center for Biostatistics and Epidemiology (CBE) at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine. Dr. Rubin has served with dedication and effectiveness as interim Co-Director of the CBE since May 2023. Dr. Rubin will continue to share leadership responsibilities with current Co-Director, Shannon Lynch, PhD, MPH, Assistant Professor in the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center. Dr. Rubin, Board-certified in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, joined the Lewis Katz School of Medicine faculty in 2010 as an Assistant Professor. During his tenure at Temple, Dr. Rubin has emerged as an academic leader, who currently also serves as Deputy Section Chief and Director of Clinical Research in the Section of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism within the Department of Medicine. His research focuses on predicting and preventing hospital readmissions among patients with diabetes and on in-patient diabetes management, and he currently holds a grant from the NIH’s National Institute of Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDKD) to develop and prospectively validate EHR-integrated readmission risk prediction models for hospitalized patients with diabetes. As Co-Director, Dr. Rubin will partner with Dr. Lynch to manage administrative functions for the CBE, overseeing its Cores in Informatics/Data Science, Biostatistics, and Education. With their deep experience and proven leadership in population-based, community-centered translational, clinical, and epidemiological research, Drs. Rubin and Lynch will continue their successful collaborative partnership to lead the CBE into its next chapter. We look forward to their ongoing efforts to align its activities with those of the broader research and educational community at Temple. Please join me in congratulating Dr. Rubin on his appointment. Sincerely,
