UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2024 / Martin Hauer-Jensen, MD, PhD, FACS, has been recognized for achievements in health care by Marquis Who's Who. This honors Dr. Hauer-Jensen's significant contributions to the medical field and legacy of leadership in research and academics.
Dr. Hauer-Jensen's career spans 30 successful years in health care, where he has excelled as a practitioner and a researcher. His unique combination of a Doctor of Medicine and a Doctor of Philosophy in radiation biology from the University of Oslo, a public research university in Oslo, Norway, sets him apart. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a board-licensed medical practitioner in the state of Arkansas, and a board-certified surgeon and medical practitioner in Norway.
During his storied career, Dr. Hauer-Jensen has served as an honored university professor and academic author. He began as an instructor in 1991 at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), a public health sciences university in Arkansas and part of the University of Arkansas. During his time there, he founded the Division of Radiation Health and served as the director from 2008 to 2023. Dr. Hauer-Jensen has authored over 300 scientific articles and book chapters throughout his academic career.
As a general surgeon, Dr. Hauer-Jensen identified a crucial need for more research in radiation enteropathy and intestinal radiation injury. His efforts in Norway and, later, in the United States, led to the development of a model for administering fractionate radiation to a segment of the small bowel. This procedure, successfully used on numerous patients, exemplifies Dr. Hauer-Jensen's impact on patient care and his status as a leading surgeon.
As a radiation researcher, Dr. Hauer-Jensen has focused on the effects of radiation on normal tissues, particularly the gastrointestinal tract. His research has received funding from such influential institutions as the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Agency.
Dr. Hauer-Jensen's work has been honored with the J. Thomas May Distinguished Endowed Chair in Oncology in 2016, the MERIT Award from the National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute in 2008, the Legends Award for Cancer Research from the American Cancer Society in 2004, and the Clinical Oncology Career Development Award from the American Cancer Society from 1994 to 1997, among others.
Though he has achieved a lifetime of success, Dr. Hauer-Jensen plans to continue his work in radiation research. He is working on a radioprotector called Gamma Tocotrienol, which is nearing FDA approval. He also hopes to see the Division of Radiation Health he founded at UAMS continue to grow and prosper.
When he is ready to fully retire, Dr. Hauer-Jensen plans to continue enjoying his hobbies, including traveling, wine tasting, golf and stamp collecting. Looking toward the future, Dr. Hauer-Jensen will continue to live as an example of leadership in the medical field, research and academia.
