Israel. He was on the pediatric faculty at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago, and later became Professor of Pediatrics and Pathology and Director of the Hayward Genetics Center at Tulane University in New Orleans. Dr. Shapira’s clinical and research interests were focused on inherited metabolic disorders. He made numerous contributions to the field of biochemical genetics and was a dedicated physician to his patients and a supportive and compassionate teacher to his students. Emmanuel was one of the founders and most dedicated supporters of the SIMD for many years. His consistent participation in the annual meetings of the Society contributed both in knowledge and in spirit by making the meetings scientifically interesting and enjoyable.
