Sally Twining (born ) is an American biochemist. She is a professor emeritus at the Medical College of Wisconsin in the department of biochemistry and is a member of the Curriculum Pillar within the Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Institute for the Transformation of Medical Education.

Early life and education
Dr. Twining pursued her doctorate in chemistry at Bowling Green State University before transferring and finishing her Doctorate degree in Physiological Chemistry at Ohio State University. She did postdoctoral work at the Mayo Clinic in immunochemistry and at the Medical College of Wisconsin in proteinase activation.

Research and career
Sally Twining’s group focuses on the role of proteinases and proteinase inhibitors the healing of cornea wounds as well as the effects of maspin in carcinogenesis and cornea wound healing. Twining’s research identified prothrombin as being found within corneal epithelial, stromal, and endothelial cells. It is now associated with the extracellular matrix of the stroma. Her laboratory also showed that maspin ______.

Dr. Walter Hogan
Walter J. Hogan was an American Gastroenterologist. Various types of sphincter of Oddi dysfunctions were discovered due to his work on sphincter of Oddi manometry. He is one of the few to have been presidents of both the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA).

Early Life
Hogan was born in Niles, Ohio, on July 14, 1931. For college, he attended Youngstown State University, where he was a student in pre-Med. It was here where he was involved in a car accident that injured his spinal cord and severely limited his mobility. After rehabilitation, he was able to matriculate to the Marquette University School of Medicine (now the Medical College of Wisconsin), and he graduated in the class of 1958.

Career
Hogan did his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the Milwaukee County General Hospital and joined the GI Fellowship program in 1962. He was Chief of Gastroenterology at the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans' Affairs hospital before returning to MCW in 1969. He was promoted to Professor in 1975 and was named Co-Chief of the division of gastroenterology in 1990, and then Chief of the division from 1993-1996. Until 2020 he remained an active member of the GI faculty at MCW until his retirement in 2020. He was the Medical College of Wisconsin’s (MCW) longest-serving faculty member and was bestowed the title Professor Emeritus of Medicine (Gastroenterology and Hepatology). The fellows in his department, upon graduation, were given a drawn caricature made by Dr. Hogan, listing both their accomplishments as well as personality quirks that he picked up during their time.

Hogan conducted pioneering studies on gastroesophageal reflux and the effects of alcohol on esophageal motility. The studies by him along with Dr. Jerry Dodds and Dr. John Dent were the first to describe the central role of spontaneous relaxations of the lower esophageal sphincter in the occurrence of reflux.

In 1987 Hogan and Dr. Joseph Geenan developed the Geenen-Hogan Classification of patients with sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, a bile duct disorder. The Geenen-Hogan Classification, also known as the “Milwaukee Biliary Group Classification,” became the universally-accepted system to predict the clinical outcomes of sphincter of Oddi patients after endoscopic sphincterotomy.

Honors
He was the 2004 recipient of the AGA Janssen Award for Sustained Achievement in Digestive Sciences and was also the 1995 recipient of ASGE’s highest honor, the Rudolf V. Schindler Award. The Medical College of Wisconsin/Marquette Medical Alumni Association named Dr. Hogan as Alumnus of the Year in 1994. In 1995, he was the recipient of MCW’s Distinguished Service Award, the highest faculty, or staff honor.

Personal Life
He met Rosalie Hogan (née Henneke) whilst they were both in medical school and they married in 1956. She is credited with helping him moving from braces to two canes for walking support. She graduated from the medical school one year after he. They had four children. Hogan died at age 91, in Elm Grove, Wisconsin in October 2022.
