n and control of infection in a hospital-setting," said Jerome F. Strauss III, M.D., Ph.D., dean of the VCU School of Medicine.

Wenzel, past-president of the International Society for Infectious Diseases, is the author of "Stalking Microbes: A Relentless Pursuit of Infection Control." He is the first editor-at-large of the New England Journal of Medicine and was among the leading commentators on swine flu and the SARS outbreak. He was at the forefront of the national debate on smallpox vaccination.

His research focuses on the epidemiology of hospital-acquired infections and clinical trials of antisepsis scrub agents to treat or prevent infections caused by antibiotic resistant pathogens.

In 2008, Wenzel helped implement a professional development program for 77 women healthcare workers from Africa, Asia and the Asian sub-continent. The program provided an opportunity for women with careers in medicine, nursing, public health and infectious diseases to network with leaders and experts of International Society for Infectious Diseases, gather information and apply the new knowledge to improve the standard of care for women with infectious diseases in their home countries.

In many developing nations, there is a critical need to boost the global shortage of physicians and improve patient care especially for women suffering from various infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria and others.

Wenzel is a frequently sought editorialist for leading medical journals because of his vision of the field, critical appraisal of data and clear writing style. He is the editor of five textbooks and more than 450 scientific articles and has received several awards for research and teaching. He has received numerous awards for research and teaching. Wenzel was named chairman of VCU's Department of Internal Medicine in 1995.
