Dr. Skeff is the George DeForest Barnett Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Stanford University, and Co-Director of the Stanford Faculty Development Center (SFDC). Dr. Skeff was the internal medicine residency program director at Stanford for 2 decades. He received his MD from the University of Colorado and his PhD from the Stanford School of Education.

Dr. Skeff’s academic career has focused on methods to assist faculty and residents internationally to improve their teaching effectiveness, resulting in the development of the Stanford Faculty Development Center (SFDC). The SFDC uses a dissemination approach that trains faculty from institutions internationally to train their own faculty colleagues and housestaff to become more effective teachers.

Since 1986, the SFDC has trained 361 faculty trainers from 149 institutions in 16 countries to become local, regional, and national resources for the improvement of medical education. These faculty have, in turn, assisted over 15,000 faculty and residents to improve their teaching effectiveness. He has received several awards including the Association of Program Directors in Internal Medicine’s Distinguished Medical Educator Award and the AAMC Flexner Award for Distinguished Service to Medical Education. He is a Regent and Master of the American College of Physicians.

“Plasticity of Aging: Lifespan Perspectives”

Aging is neither biologically nor contextually determined.  Instead it is probabilistic in nature, as it is the result of continuous interactions between biological and sociocultural forces.  This is why a given individual’s aging trajectory can take many different shapes within biological limits.  This intraindividual variability has been labeled ‘plasticity of human development’.  Examples from demography, epidemiology, cognitive and personality psychology are introduced to illustrate the plasticity of aging and its limits. Limits of plasticity have been identified for very old age and in highly developed nations. Given the findings accumulating from the field of epigenetics, the question arises whether these age-related limits are biological constants that outlast even sociocultural change or whether these limits also underlie historical change.  Recently, evidence has become available that highlights the fact that plasticity is personalized. Given this plasticity of aging, it is worthwhile compiling more and more scientific knowledge about how to optimize aging.  It is pivotal to systematically collect cohort- and country-comparative longitudinal data on biological and behavioral parameters to being able to better capture such influences.

ABSTRACT:
Post-translational modifications of histone proteins and exchanges of histone variants at chromatin are central to the regulation of nearly all DNA-based biological processes. However, the degree and variability of chromatin modifications in specific human immune cells remain largely unknown. Here, we present a highly multiplexed mass cytometry analysis to profile the global levels of a broad array of chromatin modifications in primary human immune cells at the single-cell level. Our data reveal markedly different cell type- and hematopoietic lineage-specific chromatin modification patterns. Differential analysis between younger and older adults shows that aging is associated with increased heterogeneity between individuals and elevated cell-to-cell variability in chromatin modifications. Analysis of a twin cohort unveils heritability of chromatin modifications and demonstrates that aging-related chromatin alterations are predominantly driven by non-heritable influences. We present a powerful platform for chromatin and immunology research. Our discoveries highlight the profound impacts of aging on chromatin modifications.
