Medical Research Assistant, University of Chicago Medical Center
Selected by the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine as the school’s representative for the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society Carolyn L. Kuckein Student Research Fellowship, Chad Teven received the prestigious award in 2011. He currently works under the direction of Dr. Russell R. Reid at the Molecular Oncology Laboratory and the Laboratory of Craniofacial Development at the University. Chad Teven’s area of study involves researching the peptide Q11 as a possible means of facilitating repair of facial damage and the role of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMFs) in repairing craniofacial skeletal defects. He has been selected to present his research findings at national and international medical conferences. In this capacity, Chad Teven has made presentations at the 56th Annual Meeting of the Plastic Surgery Research Council on the use of new platforms for bone regeneration in 3-D cell cultures and body sculpting and contouring after bariatric surgery. He has also delivered presentations at the 90th Annual Meeting of the American Association of Plastic Surgeons on the efficacy of high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields in speeding up the differentiation process of osteoprogenitor cells. In 2010, the 49th Annual Meeting of the Midwestern Association of Plastic Surgeons acknowledged Chad Teven’s work by presenting him with the Best Paper by a Medical Student Award.
A dedicated researcher, Chad Teven won a National Institute of Health-funded summer research grant in 2008, which he used to study the effects of high-frequency PEMFs on osteoprogenitor cells under the supervision of Dr. Russell R. Reid at the Pritzker School of Medicine. In 2006, as part of a study by Dr. Jeffery Kramer entitled “The Role of Antiplatelets in Carotid Artery Stenting,” Chad Teven performed a retrospective chart review to examine the use of aspirin and extended-release dipyridamole versus clopidogrel in patients with carotid artery stenosis who had surgery for endovascular repair. Chad Teven is the co-author of three publications to be released in 2011: “BMP-9 induced osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells: molecular mechanism and therapeutic potential,” in Current Gene Therapy, the book chapter “Repair and Grafting of Bone” in Plastic Surgery, and “Defective osteogenic differentiation in the development of osteosarcoma,” in Sarcoma. He has submitted additional papers that are currently under review for publication this year.
Chad Teven expects to receive his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine in June 2012.

Research Assitant
Investigating the effects of high-frequency PEMFs on osteoprogenitor cells and the use of PEMFs in the repair of defects of the craniofacial skeleton.
Have published numerous papers and abstracts this year. Have been selected to present my research at multiple national and international research meetings/conferences. (see CV)
Our research includes evaluating the osteogenic effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on mesenchymal stem cells and osteoprogenitor cells. We are also studying the use of a novel self-assembling peptide as a carrier scaffold to deliver osteoprogenitor cells and factors (eg, BMPs) to calvarial defects. In addition, we are interested in the role of the RANK-RANKL-OPG axis in physiologic cranial suture development as well as suture development in patients with craniosynostosis.

The University of Chicago's 2011 Medical Education Day, Chad Teven
December, 2011
For those interested in current medical research and innovation, the Academy of Distinguished Medical Educators holds an event known as Medical Education Day. In 2006, Deans James Madara and Holly J. Humphrey founded the Academy at The University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Medicine in order to promote further scientific research and support the school’s educational curriculum, providing benefits such as scholarships and community-building.
The sixth annual Medical Education Day, held in 2011 on November 17, began with a workshop on residents as teachers. Subsequently, Dr. Lisa Coplit, the Associate Dean for Assessment and Faculty Development and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Quinnipiac University School of Medicine, delivered the keynote address on a similar topic: “The Value, Rewards, and Evidence for Residents as Teachers.”
Throughout the rest of the day, the event focused on research carried out at the university. Demonstrated through means such as poster presentations and oral abstracts, the school’s faculty, residents, and students exhibited the results of their investigations. These projects included “Geriatrics and Aging through Transitional Environments (GATE) MS1 Curriculum: Obtaining a Functional History” and “The Use of an Educational Simulation to Improve Neurology Resident Knowledge of and Experience with Thrombolytic Therapy.”
An award ceremony honored those newly admitted to the Academy as Masters and Fellows and included the presentation of the LDH Wood Teaching Scholar Award. Following this, a reception concluded the day’s event. Participants included such notable speakers as Chad Teven, who made a research presentation for the event. Mr. Teven graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor’s degree in Brain, Behavior, and Cognitive Science. Subsequently, he began his studies at the Pritzker School of Medicine, and he expects to receive his medical degree in June 2012.
