A guide for them all is the legacy of Barry Wolfe, a pillar of the university\u2019s biomedical community.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gu-block gu-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"422\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-wolfe.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-693\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-wolfe.jpg 422w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-wolfe-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-wolfe-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-wolfe-404x404.jpg 404w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>Barry B.&nbsp;Wolfe<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Over his 30 years at Georgetown, Wolfe helped countless students to shape their studies and careers. He joined the university as an active researcher focused on molecular pharmacology, and almost immediately stepped up as director of the Pharmacology doctoral program (now the <a href=\"https:\/\/pharmacology.georgetown.edu\/program\/phd-pharmacology\/\">Ph.D. in Pharmacology &amp; Physiology<\/a>), a role he held until his death in 2019. He also created the <a href=\"https:\/\/pharmacology.georgetown.edu\/program\/ms-pharmacology\/\">M.S. in Pharmacology<\/a> program in 2004 and was a founding member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/neuroscience.georgetown.edu\/\">Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Neuroscience<\/a>. For six years in the 2000s, he directed all three programs simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Where others might have been overwhelmed, Wolfe rose to the challenge and went well beyond what was expected of him. He was a constant source of support and inspiration who made complex topics understandable, inspired new approaches to research, and brought students and faculty together for trivia nights, movies in the department\u2019s library, barbecues on the Medical Center Podium, and camping trips in Prince William Forest Park in Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Of about 180 Pharmacology doctoral graduates in the program\u2019s 90-year history, Wolfe played a key role in training two-thirds of them. His legacy lives on in his former students and colleagues, many of whom have become scientific leaders in their own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Wolfe was \u201chands down one of the best teachers I ever had at any level at any institution,\u201d said Patrick Forcelli, who earned his Ph.D. in 2006 and who this summer became the chairman of the Department of Pharmacology &amp; Physiology. \u201cIt was from him that I learned all the ins and outs of running a program, and of helping students through the process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">\u201cHe was a great friend to every single student,\u201d said Maryna Baydyuk (Ph.D. \u201810), an assistant research professor in Georgetown\u2019s Department of Biology. \u201cEveryone would say, \u2018If you have a problem, go talk to Barry.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading body-text-heading\">A Transformative Teacher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Wolfe earned his doctorate in organic chemistry from the University of California, Santa Barbara, then shifted into neuropharmacology as a postdoc and eventually an assistant professor at the University of Colorado. He followed his mentor, Perry Molinoff, to the University of Pennsylvania, where he worked for most of the 1980s, rising to the rank of associate professor. It was at Penn that Wolfe, using a Commodore 64 8-bit computer to analyze nicotinic receptors, started collaborating with Georgetown\u2019s Ken Kellar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">When the Georgetown pharmacology department hired a new chairman in 1988 and sought to recruit new faculty, Kellar leapt at the opportunity to bring Wolfe to the Hilltop. Wolfe joined the Georgetown faculty the next year as an associate professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">\u201cHe thrived here,\u201d said Kellar, who would go on to serve as department chair from 2016 to 2024. \u201cHe was my best friend here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gu-block gu-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-with-student-3x2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Barry Wolfe stands with a Pharmacology master's student in front of posters.\" class=\"wp-image-695\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-with-student-3x2-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-with-student-3x2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-with-student-3x2-1-606x404.jpg 606w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>A pharmacology master&#8217;s student stands with Dr. Wolfe.<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Wolfe had an immediate impact on the department, starting as director of the doctoral program in 1989. In the classroom, he impressed students and colleagues with his ability to teach complex topics such as pharmacokinetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">\u201cHe understood it, and he could convey the information clearly,\u201d Kellar remembered. \u201cHis intent was always to put it on the board, to make sure they understood it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">\u201cBarry was an exceptional mentor and teacher,\u201d wrote Khalid Garman (Ph.D. \u201817), a visiting postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). \u201cHis unwavering support, coupled with his genuine passion for teaching and mentoring, truly shaped my academic experience and professional growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Wolfe\u2019s dedication to mentorship extended beyond classes. Alumni recalled that he helped them to refine their research ideas, prepare proposals, and get jobs after they graduated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">\u201cPeople with all kinds of questions &#8211; science-related, program-related or personal \u2026 would come to him for advice,\u201d Baydyuk said. \u201cListening to his calm voice, [he was] very encouraging and always inspiring, giving great advice throughout my career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gu-block gu-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pharmacology professors Barry Wolfe and Jarda Wroblewski stand in a kitchen during a department retreat.\" class=\"wp-image-697\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-606x404.jpg 606w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-1212x808.jpg 1212w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-660x439.jpg 660w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-1320x879.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-1125x750.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1-1001x667.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/sites.georgetown.edu\/bge-1789-sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/482\/2024\/09\/barry-jarda-retreat-3x2-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>Dr. Wolfe and Professor Jarda Wroblewski man the stove during a department retreat. Wroblewski passed away in 2016.<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">In the Georgetown spirit of <em>Cura Personalis<\/em>, Wolfe cared about students\u2019 wellbeing and enjoyment of the program. Garman recalled: \u201cHis support for his students went far beyond the classroom through his dedication to creating a vibrant student community with annual retreats, movie nights, and trivia events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Sarra Djemil (Ph.D. \u201818) said Wolfe helped her to balance family commitments with her academic career. He counseled her on degree options, helped her choose a lab she could work with while caring for her young children, and supported her in finding a job. As a postdoc, Djemil shared an office with Wolfe, and the two would sit together drinking coffee and chatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">\u201cHe was just truly, truly a great person to be around,\u201d Djemil said. \u201cHe was a kind human being and there to listen to anyone, and he just helped out everyone. He did above and beyond what his role was as the person in charge of the Ph.D. program at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Like others who studied with Wolfe, Djemil took his lessons of mentorship to heart. She is now a program director at the National Cancer Institute\u2019s Small Business Innovation Research program, where she co-created a mentoring program that pairs companies with experienced biotechnology professionals to help bring products from the lab into clinical settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Wolfe also left an impression on colleagues and students through his hobbies. He built his own telescopes and took them around the world to eclipse viewings, star parties and other amateur astronomy events. And he took up pottery at nearby Glen Echo Park, sculpting pots and mugs that he gifted to friends in the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">Wolfe\u2019s handmade mugs \u201cbecame some of the most treasured possessions that I have,\u201d Djemil said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading body-text-heading\">A Growing Legacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">This year, the Department of Pharmacology &amp; Physiology seeks to honor Wolfe\u2019s legacy with a new fund set up in his name: the Barry B. Wolfe Director of Graduate Studies Fund. Forcelli explained that the department decided to name the directorship for Wolfe in recognition of his 30 years of leadership of the program and his dedication to his students and to the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">The fund will facilitate career development events as well social gatherings like barbecues; pay for students\u2019 conference travel; and provide protected time and resources to help the Pharmacology &amp; Physiology Ph.D. program director to \u201crun the program with the same care and dedication that Barry did,\u201d Forcelli said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph wp-block-paragraph body-text\">The initial seed money for the new fund was provided by the department and by incorporating the activities and funds of the Barry Wolfe Student Travel Fund. The Student Travel Fund was established at the request of Wolfe\u2019s wife, Jacqueline Crawley, after Wolfe\u2019s passing in 2019, based on royalties from antibodies Dr. Wolfe developed in the 1990s. The department is grateful to Dr. Crawley for her support of the Student Travel Fund. Donations supporting the activities of The Barry B. Wolfe Director of Graduate Studies Fund will be matched by the department (up to $100,000) during the 2024-25 academic year.
