JOHN CHARLES ANSEL, M.D., 60, died Friday, August 7, 2009 after a long and brave battle with cancer. He was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 9, 1949 and lived in his beloved Philadelphia for much of his life. He graduated from both LaSalle High School and LaSalle College. He attended Villanova University and Hahnemann Medical School, where he received his M.D. degree. He then trained as a dermatology resident at the University of Pennsylvania, but began the pursuit of his life long love of research at the National Institutes of Health in 1981 under Dr. Ira Green. His first position as clinician-scientist was at Oregon Health Sciences University. He also held positions as Professor of Dermatology at Emory University and the University of Colorado and served as Chair of Dermatology at Northwestern University. He was most recently honored as the G. Thomas Jansen, M.D, Chair of Dermatology at the University of Arkansas Medical School in Little Rock. He was a leader in dermatology research and was among those who established that the skin was an active immune system organ and not just an inert barrier to infection. He also made major contributions to our under-standing of how the nervous system and skin interact to regulate inflammatory responses and wound healing. He served on the editorial board of numerous Dermatology Journals and was active in academic dermatology organizations. Dr. Ansel was also an exemplary teacher and trained numerous students and residents in Medicine, Immunology and Dermatology. He was also the founder of the Irish-American Dermatology Research Exchange foundation, the Brendan Society.
In addition to his outstanding and distinguished professional life, John Ansel was a person who embraced his friends and family with love, great loyalty and rousing humor. He worked hard but enjoyed life just as much and was happiest surrounded by his good friends, family and an Irish beer or two. His St. Patrick Day's parties were notorious as blow out celebrations that few people truly remember. He is survived by his wife of 22 years, Melissa Brown, his adored daughter Bridget Kathleen, 18; brothers Richard, Jim and Robert Ansel, sisters Joan Pighini and Mary Christine Claudius and father, Charles Ansel in addition to numerous cousins, aunts and uncles in the extended Ansel-Sandman-Cooney-Aubrey families. His mother, Helen Ansel preceded him in death in December, 2008. In lieu of flowers, please send remembrances to the Univ. of Arkansas Medical School Dermatology Research Fund in Little Rock in his name. Viewing will be held at the Jacob F. Ruth Funeral Home, 8413 Germantown Ave., Chestnut Hill, on Thursday, August 13th from 6 - 8 pm. The funeral mass will be performed at Our Mother of Consolation Church in Chestnut Hill at 10 am, Friday, August 14th. Burial will take place at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery."
