Winter 1969
“The Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics have combined forces
to organize a Division of Genetics embracing all ages from the fetus to
old age. This section … includes pediatricians and internists whose
interests comprise the detection of abnormal chromosomal patterns, screening
for inherited defects, and the biochemical and physiological investigation
of the nature of these defects.
“A number of important research projects are now under way, including
evaluation of the chromosome pattern of all babies born in the Yale-New
Haven Hospital during the past year; investigation of the nature of the
transport defects in renal glycosuria and in the amino acid ureas; a study
in the isolated cells of tissue culture from patients of the nature of
the biochemical defect in diseases involving the intermediary metabolism
of amino acids and purines.
“Both in its spread of interest and in the range of age of the patients
it serves, this group is virtually unique in American academic medical
institutions.”
Spring 1983
“Two recent School of Medicine building projects have received
awards. The New Haven Preservation Trust presented a Merit Award to the
School for its sensitive rehabilitation and creative reuse of the historic
Jane Ellen Hope Building. The oldest building on the school’s campus,
the red brick and rough stone building was built in 1902 as a clinic building.
…
“First prize for excellence in consulting engineering in the category
of mechanical and electrical design was awarded the school by the New
York Association of Consulting Engineers for fostering excellence in engineering
of its new chilled water thermal storage system. …
“The facility was built to increase the capacity of the Sterling
Power Plant in order to provide air conditioning for the Yale-New Haven
Medical Center.”
