In October, at the American Skin Association's meeting in New York City, Robert J. Gorlin (School of Dentistry Professor Emeritus) received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Skin Association in recognition of his interdisciplinary role and academic appointments resulting in the development of a world center for clinical genetics; his lifetime work in clinical medicine, pathology, craniofacial disorders, and hereditary hearing loss leading to the recognition of many genetic disorders; and his initial definition and description of the nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome and prodigious research for its therapy.
