Leaders at Brigham and Womens, in a press release, lauded his commitment to research that can be applied to patient treatment. <\/p>\n
Golden is a superb scientist, excellent clinician, wonderful investigator and outstanding administrator with a wealth of experience, said Dr. Joseph Loscalzo, chairman of the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Womens. He will be a marvelous addition to our roster of chiefs here at this institution, and lead an outstanding department into the future well and wisely. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
