Dr Walter Boron

Myers/Scarpa Distinguished University Professor and Chair

Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio

Dr. Walter Boron is the Myers/Scarpa Distinguished University Professor and Chair, Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio since 2007. Prior to returning home to Cleveland, Dr. Boron spent nearly three decades at Yale University of Medicine in New Haven, CT, including three terms as Department Chair.

Dr. Boron obtained his undergraduate degree in chemistry at St. Louis University, and his M.D. & Ph.D. degrees from the Washington University. His lifelong research interest has been acid-base homeostasis. With his colleagues, he was the first to demonstrate cell-pH regulation, discovered and cloned several bicarbonate transporters, and elucidated the sensing of molecular carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, and introduced several experimental paradigms for studying cellular acid-base physiology. Dr. Boron’s research interests have expanded to the mechanisms of gas movement through aquaporins, rhesus proteins, and other membrane proteins, and the physiological significance of these movements.

Boron is co-editor of the textbook Medical Physiology with Dr. Emile Boulpaep. This textbook is used around the world for teaching medical physiology. Dr. Boron has served as the editor-in-chief of two leading physiology journals, Physiology Reviews and Physiology, and is currently, the Executive Editor of the new IUPS Book Series, Fundamentals of Physiology and Hot Topics in Physiology. He is also the Chairman of the IUPS Publications Committee. In addition, Dr. Boron has received numerous honors, including election to the National Academy of Medicine in the US, an honorary doctorate degree from Aarhus University, and invitations to present named lectures throughout the world.
