2021 DAVID M. DAVIS VISITING PROFESSOR JUNE 18, 2021 Colin P.N. Dinney, MD, W.A. “Tex” & D. Moncrief, Jr. Distinguished Chair in Urology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, Texas After skipping 2020 due to the pandemic, we were pleased to offer the 2021 David M. Davis Visiting Professor in a virtual format with Dr. Colin Dinney. Dr. Dinney is Professor and Chairman of Urology University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He served as the Director of MD Anderson’s Bladder Cancer SPORE from 2001-2019 and maintains an active clinical practice specializing in bladder cancer and a research laboratory focused on understanding the biology of bladder cancer metastases and on the development of novel therapy for bladder cancer. His group played a pioneering role in developing preclinical models of spontaneous bladder cancer metastasis and used these models to identify the mechanisms regulating metastasis and for preclinical therapeutic studies. His group developed intravesical nadofaragene firadenovec (adenoviral mediated interferon-α gene therapy) for the treatment of BCG unresponsive nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. A Phase 3 trial was conducted by the SUO-CTC (Society of Urologic Oncology Clinical Trials Consortium) and the drug is currently working through the FDA approval process with Jefferson contributing a significant number of patients on that trial. Currently his laboratory is working to improve interferon gene therapy by identifying biomarkers that predict sensitivity or resistance, by testing novel vectors that might improve transfection efficiency and activity, and by evaluating novel combination strategies.

Dr. Dinney served on the Society of Urologic Oncology Executive Committee and was the Founding President of the SUO’s Clinical Trial Consortium and is the current Chair of the SUO CTC Bladder Cancer Committee. Dr. Dinney is the SPORE’s Liason to SWOG’s GU Executive Committee. He is also a former member of the National Institutes of Health, Genitourinary Steering Committee, and served as the Urology Chair for the Bladder Cancer Task Force from 2016-2019.

Dr. Dinney presented two lectures “Neoadjuvant Therapy for MIBC in the Genomics Era” and “Therapy for High-risk NMIBC”. His visiting professorship also included residents presentation reviewing the diagnosis and management of Urology cases.

Visiting Professorships

ABOUT THE PAUL ZIMSKIND MD, PHD VISITING PROFESSORSHIP

The Visiting Professorship and Lecture are in honor of Dr. Paul Zimskind, a 1957 graduate of Jefferson Medical College, who was Chair of the Department of Urology from 1967 until his untimely passing in 1976. Dr. Zimskind was a pioneer in the development of the field of urodynamics and led studies on the dynamics of normal and abnormal urinary function using pressure readings and fluoroscopic motion pictures of urinary tract activity. As a charter member of the Urodynamics Society, he was honored by the Society through the creation of the Zimskind Award. The award is given to an individual who, within ten years of completing residency or fellowship has made significant contributions to the field of neurourology through basic science or clinical research. The Urodynamics Society is now known as the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU) with over 700 members. This biennial program is made possible through the dedication of Dr. Max Koppel (JMC/SKMC 57) and Dr. Michael Lewitt (JMC/SKMC 74). They led the efforts to establish the endowment that supports the program to honor the contributions of Dr. Zimskind to the field of Urology.

ABOUT THE DAVID M. DAVIS VISITING PROFESSORSHIP

Dr. David Melvin Davis (1886-1982) was Chairman of the Department of Urology at Jefferson Medical College from 1935 to 1951. He received his MD degree at Johns Hopkins University in 1911. After internship at the Baltimore City Hospital, he became an Assistant in Pathology at Hopkins for two years (1913 and 1914), and then a Pathologist and Director of Research of the Brady Urological Institute (1914-1917). He was made Associate Editor of the Journal of Urology at the time of its inception in 1917.

During World War I in 1914, Dr. Davis served as the Bacteriologist to the American Ambulance Hospital at Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, and later as First Lieutenant in the Medical Corps. For those 2 years he was first attached to the British Army and later with the American Expeditionary Forces, where he rose to the rank of Major. Back at the Brady Institute of Johns Hopkins, Dr. Davis spent a year of research on the gonococcus organism, completed a residency in Urology, and then spent 2 years preparing the manuscript of Practice of Urology as a co-author with his famous mentor, Dr. Hugh H. Young. In 1924, he was made Head of Urology in the new medical school at the University of Rochester, where he organized the department. In 1928, he resigned to return to Baltimore as an Associate of Dr. Hugh Young. Curiously, in 1930 he went to Phoenix, Arizona, where he abandoned academic urology for private practice.

During the interlude (1930-1935) of this brilliant academician in Arizona, he served as Visiting Urologist at the Desert Sanitarium at Tucson. Dean Ross V. Patterson became interested in Dr. Davis as a candidate for the vacant Chair of Urology at Jefferson and received impressive letters of recommendation from Hopkins and the University of Rochester where Dr. Davis had served. Thus, his appointment to the Chair followed with 16 fruitful years at Jefferson. As an investigator, teacher, clinician, and authority in urologic surgery, Dr. Davis became known throughout the world. Shortly after his arrival, the Department of Genito-Urinary Diseases (founded in 1904) changed its name to the Department of Urology. The teaching system was modified by a gradual reduction of didactic lectures and emphasis on small groups with student participation.

Under Dr. Davis’s leadership, advanced training in Urology was established. The first residencies at Jefferson started in 1937 in Obstetrics, and the Department of Urology established one in 1939. World War II caused a delay in increasing the number of residents, but a second residency position was created in 1946 and a third in 1947. In 1948, an arrangement with Professor John H. Gibbon, Jr. provided a year of training in General Surgery before beginning three years in the Urologic Residency.

Dr. Davis was most unhappy that the rules of the Board of Trustees at that time caused his compulsory retirement to Emeritus status at age 65 in 1951. The Class of 1952 presented his portrait to the College. He remained active in practice, research, and authorship of articles for another 17 years until December 31, 1968, at which time he was 82 years of age. He died in 1982 at the age of 96.

Mr. John O’Donnell, a patient of Dr. Ken Brownstein and trustee of the charitable Maneely Trust, made a sizable contribution to the Department of Urology in the name of David M. Davis, MD. With support of this David M. Davis fund, the Annual Visiting Professorship was established in 1981 in his honor and a listing of prior honorees can be found on the accompanying table. Due to the pandemic there was no DM Davis program held in 2020, and it was held again in 2021 using a virtual ZOOM format.
