Matina Souretis Horner Professorship

The IHP seeks to establish a $2M endowment to fund the Matina Souretis Horner Professorship which is designed to promote and enhance interdisciplinary health and rehabilitation research at the MGH Institute. This endowed position will be used to recruit and support a leading clinical scientist whose interdisciplinary research contributes critical new knowledge about the development, identification, and treatment of selected health conditions and disabilities, leading to improved treatment and rehabilitation outcomes for affected individuals. The incumbent will also serve as a research mentor for junior faculty and for students.

The Matina Souretis Horner Professorship will directly support key aspects of the Institute’ mission as an interprofessional graduate school that Dr. Horner is very passionate about; specifically, to advance the school’s strategic commitment to “create and translate knowledge to improve health through distinctive programs of research.” This endowed professorship will help the Institute further realize its commitment to train the next generation of scientists to conduct high-quality, interdisciplinary clinical research, thus ensuring that improvements in health care and rehabilitation care continue to advance.

Gifts of any amount are welcomed.
