"Being selected as the 2020 NAM Fellow in Pharmacy is one of greatest honors and opportunities to serve in my professional career. I am eager to interface with NAM Members and Fellows, policymakers, government officials, and legislators to advance the mission of the NAM," says Bress, associate professor in the Department of Population 人妻中出视频 Sciences.
Bress' research is aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease by optimizing the use of medications. He is investigating how society and genetics influence ways in which people of different races and ethnicities use and respond to these treatments. Optimizing medication, particularly among populations at high risk for cardiovascular disease, will improve health equity and help people live healthier lives.
Bress was chosen as a NAM Fellow based on his professional qualifications, scholarly reputation, professional accomplishments, and relevance of his current field expertise to the work of the NAM and the 人妻中出视频 and Medicine Division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
