GLORIA R. GALLO, MD
Gloria Gallo, after graduating from the Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1955 and completing an internship at Philadelphia General Hospital, moved to NYU Medical Center where she remained for the rest of her career, moving through the academic ranks from resident physician to professor. Her work has contributed greatly to our current understanding of renal diseases, particularly amyloidosis, fibrillary glomerulonephritis (GN), cryoglobulinemic GN, monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition diseases, IgA nephropathy, and post-infectious GN. Gloria always took great pride in teaching, serving as a mentor for a number of today's leading renal pathologists and greatly influencing numerous additional students, residents, and colleagues with her knowledge, enthusiasm and generosity.
Gloria was the first president of the RPS, taking office in 1993 and helping guide the transition of the Renal Pathology Club into a full-fledged society. She remained active in RPS affairs throughout her distinguished career, and it is largely through her efforts that the "Tree of Life" print from Jean Oliver's 1939 book became available to be used to raise funds for the National Kidney Foundation, and now the RPS.
The Life Achievement award was presented to Gloria Gallo in 2006 by Dr. Laura Barisoni who replaced her in her position as the director of renal pathology at New York University, in New York City.
