Center for Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research

In 1972, Dr. Donald Seldin had the foresight of a Clinical Research Unit in Dallas. He secured federal support and started a unit in Southwestern. Dr. Seldin learned of Dr. Charles Pak through Dr. Fred Bartter at the National Institutes of Health and Pak was brought to Dallas. This was the first formal Division of Mineral Metabolism in the country and Dr. Pak established the Federally supported General Clinical Research.

Pak's vision was threefold: 1. Focus on mineral physiology and diseases. 2. Maximize internal collaborations within Southwestern. 3. Emphasize recognition of paramedical staff who were under-appreciated. In 1994, the Center for Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research (CMMCR) was established and in 2002, the Directorship was transferred from Dr. Pak to Dr. Orson Moe.

Shortly after in 2004, the Center was renamed to the Charles and Jane Pak Center for Mineral Metabolism and Clinical Research, and in 2020, the Center reached autonomous departmental status on UTSW campus. The faculty, staff and trainees continue their mission of clinical practice, scientific discovery, and education in an ever-expanding scope and depth in mineral diseases.
