When Nathan Francis Mossell graduated in 1882, he became the first African American to earn a medical degree from Penn. Kording, who holds joint appointments in the Department of Neuroscience in the Perelman School of Medicine and the Department of Bioengineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, will become the Nathan Francis Mossell University Professor. It is because of these two pioneers’ determination, and their greatness, that Penn endures as a leader in education and medicine.” “I am delighted to name these University Professorships, and I am proud to ensure Mossell and Bennett’s memory lives on far into the future. “Konrad Kording and George Demiris are innovative, cross-disciplinary Penn scholars whose outstanding teaching and research reflect the inspiring legacies of Nathan Francis Mossell and Mary Alice Bennett,” said Gutmann. The announcement was made today by President Amy Gutmann. Two Penn Integrates Knowledge Professors, Konrad Kording and George Demiris, have received named University Professorships.
