A medical geneticist and expert on inborn errors of metabolism, Stephen Cederbaum, MD, has been affiliated for many years with the University of California, Los Angeles, as a professor, medical researcher and clinician. He has conducted pioneering research, published widely acclaimed papers and advanced understanding of urea cycle disorders, and in particular arginase deficiency, in his distinguished academic career. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But to the families of the children who are his patients, he is \u201cSteve\u201d = a kind and compassionate friend and guide through the trauma of receiving a rare disease diagnosis and the ongoing stress of living with a life-threatening medical condition.\"Dr.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur world changed forever with our child\u2019s diagnosis and it would have been very different if not impossible without Steve,\u201d one parent wrote. To his patients and their families, Dr. Cederbaum is never more than a phone call or email away and always willing to spend as much time as needed to answer questions and address fears.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe provides information, explanations and support,\u201d another parent said. \u201cHe has no \u2018former patients\u2019 because he is always there. Time, space, distance make no difference. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to his work at UCLA, Dr. Cederbaum has been a longtime supporter and medical adviser to the National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation, which is one of NORD\u2019s member organizations. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so thrilled that Steve is being recognized with the Rare Impact Award,\u201d said Cynthia Le Mons, Executive Director of NUCDF and Co-Principal Investigator of the NIH Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium \u00a0who has known Dr. Cederbaum for over twenty years. \u00a0\u201cSince the founding of NUCDF by a handful of parents in 1988, Steve has been and continues to be a refuge for the families who depend on his clinical expertise, and an enthusiastic mentor fostering the growth of our organization. \u00a0Steve is in so many ways one of our patriarchs, and we can\u2019t imagine where our UCD community would be if not for him. He\u2019s not only part of the fabric of the lives of the patients and families he cares for, his pioneering research continues to save lives and inspire the next generation of clinicians and researchers in explorations to improve the lives of those affected with urea cycle disorders.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
