Dr. Dorothea Sawicki, professor of medical microbiology and immunology, has been elected to a five-year term as secretary-treasurer of the American Society of Virology (ASV).
The ASV, which has more than 3,000 members, was founded in 1981 to provide a forum for investigators of human, animal, insect, plant, fungal and bacterial viruses. The society works to promote the exchange of information and stimulate discussion and collaboration among scientists active in clinical, ecological, biological or biochemical aspects of virology.
The society will hold its annual scientific meeting July 14-18 at Oregon State University in Corvallis, an event that is keeping Sawicki very busy.
She earned a PhD in 1972 at Columbia University in New York City and completed postdoctoral work at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute in New York City.
A native of New York City, she joined the faculty of the former Medical College of Ohio in 1977. She is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Virology and is director of the infection, immunity and transplantation track in the College of Medicine’s PhD/MS degree programs in biomedical sciences.
Sawicki’s research effort is directed toward determining the molecular mechanisms governing RNA synthesis using as a model system the RNA alphaviruses that grow in mosquitoes as well as humans, horses and birds.
