| Brigham President Robert S.D. Higgins, MD, MSHA; donors Barbara and Frank Resnek; and (seated) Joshua Korzenik, MD |
Joshua Korzenik, MD, of the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endoscopy, was named the inaugural incumbent of The Resnek Family Distinguished Chair in Gastroenterology and Hepatology during a celebration held on June 28.
Korzenik is director of the Resnek Family Center for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) Research and is also an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
The distinguished chair was established thanks to the generosity of Frank and Barbara Resnek, who have given more than $45 million to PSC research at the Brigham, making them the largest donors in the world to this rare liver disease. The endowed chair will support Korzenik’s efforts to better understand and treat gastrointestinal and liver diseases, such as PSC.
