About the Exhibit
During his tenure as chancellor of UNMC, Dr. Gold oversaw extensive growth and development of the university, in conjunction with clinical partner Nebraska Medicine, as international leaders in biopreparedness.
Dr. Gold’s investiture occurred on the same day that the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit activated for the first time to receive an Ebola patient in September 2014. Under his administration, UNMC and Nebraska Medicine would go on to lead the charge in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and become a national hub for preparedness training, education and research.
