7 thoughts on “Former top IU med school researcher says why he left

  1. “Traditional ecosystem of the past” – obviously a man of few words, but those few words elegantly encapsulate the leadership failures of IU SOM and in extension IU Health.
    The number of amazingly talented clinicians and researchers to leave IU and IU Health – or in many instances be forced to leave when they didn’t embrace the past – is truly staggering.
    Meanwhile billions of our dollars (yes WE paid for it) are being used to construct a downtown edifice to failed leadership and an obsolete model of an academic medical center.

    1. “Traditional ecosystem of the past” also sounds a bit self-serving. Like something Bobby Knight might have said, if he had the capacity. Hard to draw any conclusions from just one individual’s story.

  2. I’m not so sure that’s the only reason he left IU. The article specifically states that Schools lose talent to other universities all the time. I think it’s all about money and no different than coaches or athletes jumping ship. It’s always about the money, never the loyalty

  3. When will everyone in our STATE realize that the IU system has been a failed system for years? It has ALWAYS shunned industry in any form including the pharmaceutical industry, medical devices, etc., etc., etc. Our State deserves better. Our State needs at least two more research medical school. I have always said Purdue and Notre Dame should start their own medical schools. IU-CTSI would then just fade away.

  4. And how many more research scientists and physicians will flee Indiana, or refuse to come here, in response to our state government’s crippling of reproductive care and treatment?

  5. What was not mentioned but weighed heavily in the decision is the Statehouse interference and vengeance for policies or practices deemed inconsistent with majority authoritarianism. Succinctly: Statehouse policies toward medicine and data-based analysis.

  6. There are lots of interesting takes in this comment section, but consider this: Dude follows the money. 5 years ago IU enticed him away from OSU with an offer of better resources and prestige, and now a few years down the road an even more prestigious university offers him an even better deal. Even if we assume that Dr Sen is the most selfless person alive and only wants to maximize the impact of his reasearch in helping more people, it would be only logical for him to jump ship to an offer that allows him to do that more. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does again in the future. There are lots of great, talented people out there, and IU should try to recruit them. But they also shouldn’t act like they’re blindsided that someone they scooped up from somewhere else gets scooped up again by a new scooper with even more resources.
