DR. PETER HOTEZ EARNS 2023 CERAMI AWARD

December 14th, 2023 Matthew Libassi



THE DISTINCTION RECOGNIZES DR. HOTEZ'S EXTENSIVE WORK IN GLOBAL HEALTH

The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and Molecular Medicine today
announced that Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, a distinguished immunologist, pediatrician,
and global health advocate, has been awarded the Anthony Cerami Award in
Translational Medicine for his outstanding contributions to the field of
molecular medicine and his dedication to addressing global health challenges.

The Cerami Award honors investigators who have produced knowledge through their
discoveries and innovations to cure disease. It is conferred by the editors of
Molecular Medicine, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the
Feinstein Institutes and BMC, part of Springer Nature. The award is made
possible by the generosity of the Anthony Cerami and Ann Dunne Foundation for
World Health, Inc. Dr. Cerami’s breakthrough translational work includes the
identification of the potential of anti-TNF antibodies to treat several
inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, and the development of
the HbA1c Diagnostic Test – the gold standard for the diagnosis and control of
diabetes. He is currently working on a potential treatment for diabetes as CEO
of Tarrytown, NY-based Araim Pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Hotez, co-director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine
Development and professor and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine
at Baylor College of Medicine, is an internationally recognized
physician-scientist focusing on immunology, vaccinology and tropical medicine.
He has been instrumental in shaping the understanding of various diseases,
including parasitic infections and Covid-19. Dr. Hotez’s extensive research has
led to the development of vaccines and treatments that have positively impacted
the lives of millions in low-income and marginalized communities, and he has
acted in championing access to those vaccines globally and in the U.S. He has
also been a champion of educating the lay community about infectious diseases
and their prevention.

As a recipient of the award, Dr. Hotez published a monograph of his work in
Molecular Medicine, that reveals the inspirations, insights, surprises, and
conceptual advances that are woven into the history of his discoveries. If left
untold, they may be lost from the permanent record.

“I have spent my career dedicated to understanding and combatting infectious
diseases, particularly those that disproportionately affect the world’s most
vulnerable populations,” said Dr. Hotez. “The Cerami Award is not just a
recognition of my work, but also a testament to the collective efforts of my
colleagues. It highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration,
scientific inquiry, and the power of vaccines to transform lives.”

In late 2021, Dr. Hotez led efforts at the Texas Children’s Center for Vaccine
Development to develop a low-cost recombinant protein Covid-19 vaccine for
global health, resulting in emergency use authorization in India and Indonesia.
Most recently, as both a vaccine scientist and parent of a child with autism, he
has led national efforts to champion vaccines and educate the public on the
science behind them.

Dr. Hotez obtained his undergraduate degree in molecular biophysics and
biochemistry from Yale, followed by a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry from
Rockefeller University in 1986, and an MD from Weil Cornell Medical College in
1987. He has authored more than 700 original papers and five single-authored
books. Dr. Cerami was Dr. Hotez’s former doctoral advisor at Rockefeller
University.

“The Feinstein Institutes and Molecular Medicine are delighted to recognize Dr.
Peter Hotez for his remarkable achievements in the realm of molecular medicine
and global health,” said Betty Diamond, MD, director of the Institute of
Molecular Medicine & Maureen and Ralph Nappi Professor of Autoimmune Diseases at
the Feinstein Institutes and editor-in-chief of Molecular Medicine. “The Cerami
Award acknowledges his unwavering commitment to improving health care access and
fostering scientific advancements that benefit people worldwide.”

Previously, Dr. Hotez served as president of the American Society of Tropical
Medicine and Hygiene, and in 2006 at the Clinton Global Initiative, he
co-founded the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases to provide access
to essential medicines for hundreds of millions of people.

He is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and the American
Academy of Arts & Sciences. From 2014 until 2016, Dr. Hotez served in the Obama
Administration, focusing on vaccine diplomacy initiatives between the U.S.
government and countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The U.S. State
Department also appointed him to serve on the Board of Governors for the U.S.
Israel Binational Science Foundation. He has been recognized for his work on
vaccines by the AMA (American Medical Association), AAMC (Association of
American Medical Colleges), AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of
Science), the National Academy of Medicine and IDSA (Infectious Disease Society
of America. His work to combat antisemitism was recognized by the
Anti-Defamation League and B’nai B’rith International. He also holds three
honorary doctoral degrees.

“The Anthony Cerami Award in Translational Medicine was established to recognize
investigators who provide early knowledge that sparks future research which
leads to new treatments for diseases,” said Kevin J. Tracey, MD, president and
CEO of the Feinstein Institutes and Karches Family Distinguished Chair in
Medical Research, editor emeritus of Molecular Medicine, and Cerami Award
committee member. “Dr. Hotez’s outstanding contributions to molecular medicine,
immunization, and global health are an inspiring example for the scientific
community.”
