Bio
Dr. Bruce S. Rabin is a former professor of pathology at the University of Pittsburgh and medical director of the Division of Clinical Immunopathology and the Healthy Lifestyle Program for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; he retired in January 2017 after a 45-year career. Dr. Rabin discovered early on that stress — a variable in every person’s life — exerts a profound influence on the human health. From that point forward, his work focused on the effects of stress and the pathways of communication between the brain and the body: the mind/body connection. Equally important to his research, Dr.Rabin has been instrumental in moving science and research to real-world applications by developing programs designed to help people identify, learn and adhere to behaviors that will maintain their well-ness and lower their risk of developing serious and potentially life-threatening conditions and diseases.As a result of his work, people of all ages, socioeconomic levels, educational backgrounds and lifestyle are learning more about how to more effectively cope with the stress in their lives; new approaches to disease have been understood; mind/body connections are more widely and universally recognized; and innovative approaches to health care management have emerged. Dr. Rabin received his M.D. and Ph.D.from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
