Howard Dubowitz, MB. ChB, MS, FAAP is a tenured professor and heads the Division of Child Protection in our Department of Pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. After completing his medical degree in Cape Town, South Africa, he was an intern in Israel and a general practitioner in London, England before coming to Boston in 1978 to train in pediatrics. Dr. Dubowitz completed an NIMH-sponsored fellowship in child abuse at Boston Children’s Hospital and a Master’s in Epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. After two years as faculty at Boston Children’s, he joined the Division of General Pediatrics at UMB in 1985; in 2000, he created our Division of Child Protection. Dr. Dubowitz is a clinician, researcher and educator in the field of child maltreatment, and he has been active in the policy arena. One major focus is child neglect; he is a leading figure internationally on this often-neglected problem. He conducted federally funded research on neglect, including one 25- year longitudinal study of its antecedents and outcomes. Dr. Dubowitz edited the first book on neglect, Neglected Children: Research, Practice and Policy. Another central interest of his is preventing child abuse and neglect. With three federal grants, he led the development of the Safe Environment for Every Kid (SEEK) model to enhance pediatric primary care and help address social determinants of health. Findings from this research have led to SEEK being widely implemented in 19 states, Sweden and Italy, and NIH is now funding his study of the model’s dissemination and implementation. He edited and co-edited four editions of the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect’s (ISPCAN) World Perspectives on Child Abuse, and he co-edited International Aspects of Child Abuse and Neglect and the Handbook for Child Protection Practice. Dr. Dubowitz has over 200 publications and he has presented at many national and international conferences. He is a Past-President of the Ray E. Helfer Society, an honorary international group of physicians in the child maltreatment field. He served on the Executive Council of ISPCAN and on the national boards of the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children and of Prevent Child Abuse America. The Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and several national and international organizations have honored Dr. Dubowitz’s work.

J. Tyson Tildon Ph.D 1931-2006 The scientific community benefited from the brilliance and enthusiasm of J. Tyson Tildon, PhD. For forty years Dr. Tildon was committed to research on understanding the function of the developing brain in health and disease. Dr. Tildon began his studies as an undergraduate at Morgan State University. After graduating, he entered the Johns Hopkins biochemistry program and became the first African American to receive a Ph.D. in that program. After his post-doctoral training at Brandeis University, he joined the faculty of Goucher College in 1967. In 1968 he was recruited by the Department of Pediatrics to pursue a career in teaching and research. In 1972 he created and headed the Division of Pediatric Research and later was appointed Professor in the Department of Biochemistry. During his long and productive research career he identified the underlying biochemical mechanism of a new syndrome of ketoacidosis in infancy that leads to mental retardation. He actively pursued research on the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. His greatest research was focused on demonstrating the dynamic metabolic interdependence of astrocytes and neurons, called “metabolic trafficking” that is essential for brain function. His other major research interest focused on understanding the regulation of energy metabolism in different cell types in developing brain and determining how this metabolism is altered in disease. He was one of the founders of the International Conferences on Brain Energy Metabolism meetings. Dr. Tildon’s research was funded by the National Institutes of Health through a long-running Program Project Grant that recruited multiple scientists in different disciplines to work together and share their expertise. He published 115 peer-reviewed scientific papers and 8 scientific book chapters. He was outstanding in writing grants that caught the imagination and respect of reviewers. He served as a mentor to faculty, students and staff for academic and personal growth. His optimism and generosity made him an outstanding mentor and role model. Dr. Tildon took great delight in analyzing scientific data and formulating new hypotheses from the data. He never shied away from challenging dogma in the light of new scientific findings. This wonder of science persisted even after he became Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies for the School of Medicine at UMB in 1994. During this tenure he participated in an unprecedented growth of research funding at UMB. Dr. Tildon retired in 2000 but continued his research interests by reviewing data and writing scientific papers with his colleagues in the Department of Pediatrics.
