Lloyd B. Minor Biography

Lloyd B. Minor is one of the most popular and richest Surgeon who was born on May 25, 1957 in Little Rock, Little Rock, United States. Minor was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. His father was an accountant, while his mother worked as a kindergarten teacher. He graduated from Brown University with a Sc.B. in 1979 and an M.D. in 1982. He completed his initial residency training in surgery at Duke University Medical Center from 1982 until 1984. From 1984 until 1988 Minor then completed a research fellowship in vestibular neurophysiology at the University of Chicago Department of Pharmacological and Physiological Sciences, under the supervision of Jay M. Goldberg. From 1988 until 1992 he was a resident in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Afterwards, from 1992 until 1993 he completed a clinical fellowship in otology and neurotology at The Otology Group and The EAR Foundation in Nashville, Tennessee.

On September 1, 2009 Minor became provost of Johns Hopkins University, making him both chief academic officer and the second-ranking member of the administration. He also served as University Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery from 2009 until 2012, while remaining a professor in the departments of biomedical engineering and neuroscience. During his tenure as provost, Minor launched a number of university-wide initiatives, among them the Gateway Sciences Initiative to increase innovation in teaching, and the Doctor of Philosophy Board to encourage quality education on the doctoral level. He helped coordinate the Individualized Health Initiative, which aims to use genetic information to improve health care, and worked to improve recruitment and retention of faculty.

Minor has been dean of Stanford University’s School of Medicine since December 1, 2012. His role as dean gives him oversight for Stanford Medicine’s clinical enterprise (Stanford Health Care and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital), and also gives him oversight for Stanford Medicine’s clinical enterprise strategy. He also has oversight of the physicians chosen to serve on the faculty and in Stanford Medicine’s clinical network. At Stanford University, Minor also serves by courtesy as a professor of otolaryngology (head and neck surgery), bioengineering, and neurobiology.

Lloyd Brooks Minor M.D. is an American surgeon, researcher, educator, and academic administrator. The Carl and Elizabeth Naumann Dean of Stanford University School of Medicine, his term began in December 2012. Previously, he was the provost of Johns Hopkins University. An expert on the inner ear, he is known for identifying the superior canal dehiscence syndrome, a disorder where a hole in the skull bone upsets the inner ear balance canal. For refining a treatment for Ménière’s disease using gentamicin, Minor received the Prosper Ménière Society’s gold medal in 2010. A fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, he is also a member of the National Academy of Medicine.

In 1995 Minor discovered superior canal dehiscence syndrome, a debilitating disorder characterized by sound- or pressure-induced dizziness. Key to this discovery was Minor’s finding that the eye movements evoked by sound and pressure stimuli in patients with superior canal dehiscence syndrome often align with the plane of the superior canal. He and his colleagues publicly published the findings on superior canal dehiscence syndrome for the first time in Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery in 1998, describing clinical manifestations of the syndrome and relating its cause to an opening (dehiscence) in the bone covering the superior canal. In addition to describing the syndrome, he also later developed a surgical procedure that corrects the problem and alleviates symptoms.

Minor is an expert in balance and inner ear disorders, and since 1980 he has published over 140 articles and chapters. He published four key studies between 1999 and 2001 articulating the connection between head motion and eye movements and how they are controlled by the balancing mechanisms centered in the inner ear. Through neurophysiological investigations of eye movements and neuronal pathways, Minor has identified adaptive mechanisms responsible for compensation to vestibular injury in a model system for studies of motor learning (the vestibulo-ocular reflex). By 2010, synergies between this basic research and clinical studies have led to improved methods for the diagnosis and treatment of balance disorders.

In 1993 Minor joined the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as an assistant professor of laryngology and otology. He became an associate professor in 1997 and a professor in 2001 in the departments of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, neuroscience, and biomedical engineering. In 2003 Minor was appointed the Andelot Professor and director (chair) of the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and otolaryngologist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital. During his six years as department chair, Minor expanded annual research funding by more than 50 percent and increased clinical activity by more than 30 percent. During his tenure, the department was ranked number one by U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospital rankings by specialties.

Concerning grants and finances, at Stanford Minor has supported competitive innovation grants that back basic science research, also increasing support for other core areas and resources. In particular, he expanded clinical and patient-centered research, helped support new educational models, and supported financial assistance covering students’ first four years of Ph.D. training. He furthermore worked to cut down on financial barriers for students,” increased faculty development programs and leadership options, and pushed for programming with diversity and “accountability.” Between 2012 and 2016, Stanford credited Minor with helping raise the number underrepresented minority students from 10% of incoming graduate students to 28%. In 2017, he introduced the Health Trends Report published by Stanford Medicine, with research and reviews on emerging trends in health care.
