Eli Coleman, Ph.D., director since 1991 of the Medical School’s Program in Human Sexuality, was elected president of the International Academy of Sex Research at the academy’s annual meeting in August.
Coleman’s election to the position followed his recent appointment as inaugural holder of the University’s endowed chair in sexual health—the first of its kind in the world—and his receipt in April of the Gold Medal Award 2007 at the XVIII World Congress of the World Association for Sexual Health.
Coleman has written more than 130 articles and book chapters on sexual health. Under his leadership, the Program in Human Sexuality has become one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive centers for sexual-health treatment, research, and education.
