This authentic illustrative portrait of Hugh Rosen, MD. PhD. relates both his field of study and him personally.

Images like this typically involve research, interviewing the subject, then integrating the research to a visual that is related, for the non-scientific viewer that works for the client. In this case, serendipity played a role and in this case, fishing waders were considered and when the size issue came up, Hugh responded with, “I have two kinds waders, which do you prefer.  Oh, and I have this great hat when I fly fish too.”   Fishing nor waders were ever discussed prior to asking about sizes.  What are the odds?

Hugh’s work is about barriers between gases and liquids.  Our lungs are the obvious first organ, but so much of our biology is based on barriers. Currently he is working on “shock lung” that can be caused by smoke inhalation, a severe blow to the chest, extreme pneumonia, sepitc shock, blood loss or drug overdose.

“What I’m trying to do is push the field forward – to open up the therapeutic possibilities in a broad sense.”
