密苏里-堪萨斯城大学纪念一位专职研究员和长期的医学院教员，医学博士奥古斯汀·莫尔特尼（1933-2025）。
Molteni是密苏里大学堪萨斯城医学院病理学和生物医学科学系的杰出教授。 他以致力于研究和教育而闻名，留下了发现，合作和指导的遗产，继续塑造医学院社区。
Molteni joined 威尼斯人娱乐城 in 1996 after devoting two decades at Northwestern University’s 医学院. 在威尼斯人娱乐城，他对肺部疾病和高血压的病理和分子基础的研究导致了与跨学科教师的开创性合作。 他的工作得到了来自美国国立卫生研究院、退伍军人管理局、美国心脏协会和其他组织的1690多万美元研究资金的支持。
在他的职业生涯中，Molteni撰写了176篇科学出版物，21篇书籍章节和400多篇摘要。 His pioneering work on hypertension contributed to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program, which received the prestigious Albert E. Lasker Award in 1980.
在他的研究之外，Molteni深深地致力于指导。 As a member of the 医学院’s Student 研究 Committee, he helped connect hundreds of students with research mentors, guiding them in projects that shaped their medical and academic paths. In 2016, he received the 医学院’s highest honor for mentorship—the Betty M. Drees, M.D., Lifetime Achievement in Mentoring Award.
“Dr. Molteni was cherished by one and all,” said 医学院 Dean Alexander Norbash (B.A. ‘85/M.D. ’86). “His dedication to science and his enthusiasm for educating our medical students was unparalleled. Molteni博士相信导师的力量，并帮助创造了许多有益于社会和科学的职业。 他是一个榜样和鼓舞。 He will be sorely and visibly missed.”
Molteni’s passion for research and mentorship positively impacted his fellow faculty members as well.
“What I’ve learned from Dr. Molteni in my years working with him is to have a lifelong passion for research and a lifelong passion for mentoring students,” said Paula Monaghan-Nichols, Ph.D., professor and associate dean at the 医学院.
