Larry Cohen was born on 27 March 1933 in Brooklyn, New York, and that is where he
grew up. After finishing public schools in Brooklyn in 1950, he went to Harvard College
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, graduating in 1954. From there, he returned to New York
City to New York University School of Medicine, where he finished in 1958. He completed
his internship and his first 2 years of medical residency at Yale-New Haven Medical
Center in New Haven, Connecticut. In 1962, he went to Boston, Massachusetts, as a
research fellow in cardiology at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, completing that
training in June 1964, and the next month he returned to New Haven as a senior assistant
resident at the Yale-New Haven Medical Center. From 1965 to 1968, Dr. Cohen was senior
investigator and head of the clinical service of the cardiology branch at the National
Heart Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. After 2 years, he moved to Dallas, Texas, to
be chief of clinical cardiology and associate professor of medicine at the University
of Texas (Southwestern) Medical School. Two years later in 1970, he returned to New
Haven as professor of medicine and chief of cardiology at Yale University School of
Medicine. In 1978, he stepped down from the chief of cardiology position. In 1981,
Dr. Cohen was made the Ebenezer K. Hunt Professor of Medicine at Yale University School
of Medicine. He has served as acting deputy dean, deputy dean, special advisor to
the dean, and the research integrity officer at Yale University School of Medicine.
Through all the years, he has taught medical students, houseofficers, and cardiology
fellows, plus continues to see private patients with various cardiovascular conditions.
Dr. Cohen is a well-loved teacher and mentor and has received the Francis Gilman Blake
Award for Outstanding Teaching of the Medical Sciences. In 1989, the Connecticut Heart
Association named its auditorium in Wallingford, Connecticut, the Lawrence S. Cohen
Auditorium. Larry Cohen has been President of the Association of University Cardiologists
and also of the Inter-Urban Clinical Club. He was a founding member of the Yale University
School of Medicine Society of Distinguished Teachers. He has been involved in numerous
clinical trials during the last 20 or so years. He has been a visiting professor at
31 university medical centers in the USA and in 25 cities in non-US countries. He
has been on the editorial boards at one time or another of all the major US cardiovascular
journals. His investigations have led to over 125 publications in peer-reviewed medical
journals, 34 chapters in various books, 9 editorials, and the editorship of 3 books.
He and his lovely wife, Jane, are the proud parents of 2 very fine and successful
daughters. Larry Cohen is a good friend, a great guy, and a true gentleman (Figure 1).
