Handler has been selected as the 2001 Robert W. Berliner/Abbott Laboratories awardee. Dr. Handler received his Berliner/Abbott Award during the Renal Dinner on Tuesday, April 3, 2001, at the Experimental Biology 2001 meeting held in Orlando, Florida.Dr. Handler, who was born and raised in New York City, received his BA and MD degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. He returned to New York for his internship in Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in 1954–1955. After serving in the Army for 2 years, he returned to Penn to complete his Medicine residency and fellowship in nephrology. In 1960, he moved to the Laboratory of Kidney and Electrolyte Metabolism at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He was promoted to Unit Chief in 1966 and to Chief of the Section on Membrane Metabolism in 1971. Dr. Handler had many seminal publications at the NIH, including the initial study showing that cAMP was the second messenger for adenosine dehydrogenase in the toad bladder. He next made major contributions to the development of cultured cells for the study of renal transport mechanisms, including studies establishing the A6 cell as a model of the cortical collecting duct. In 1988, he moved to Johns Hopkins as Director of Nephrology, where he has made pioneering discoveries regarding the molecular basis for the regulation of renal osmolytes and how cells respond to changes in osmolality. Dr. Handler has published numerous original publications and review papers.Among the other honors that Dr. Handler has received are the Peter Curran Lecturer (1980), the Homer Smith Award (1987), the A. N. Richards Distinguished Achievement Award (1998), and the Distinguished Professor's Award from Nanjing University (2000). He has been an Associate Editor of AJP-Cell, served on the editorial board of several journals, and served on NIH study sections.The American Physiological Society Renal Section's Berliner/Abbott Award Committee, a subcommittee of the Renal Section Steering Committee, included Steven Hebert (Editor, AJP-Renal); Susan Mulroney (Renal Section Student Awards Chairman); Glenn Reinhart (Abbott Laboratories and Renal Section Liaison with Industry Representative); and Jeff Sands (Renal Section Chairman).This article has no references to display.
