Samuel Márquez, PhD

Basic Science Research:

Samuel Márquez is a Professor in the Departments of Cell Biology and Otolaryngology at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University. He is a functional craniofacial comparative anatomist whose research interests are in the evolution of the nose and paranasal sinuses and its clinical relevance, particularly in the area of sinusitis. His area of expertise is on the comparative anatomy of the nose and paranasal sinuses of living and extinct humans, great apes, monkeys and terrestrial mammals. He is grounded in traditional gross anatomic dissection, morphometrics of dry skulls, and CT & MR imaging to understand human diversity of living populations. Dr. Márquez research has taken him to museums in Central and South America, Europe and the U.S. to examine and measure diversity across numerous skull specimens housed in their osteological collections. Research goals are centered on questions concerning human origins that are driven by the theme of primate and human evolution with direct relevance to clinical consequences. He has scanned a large number of crania housed in the Division of Anthropology and Mammalogy at the American Museum of Natural History including Egyptian mummies dating to the predynastic era circa 3,600 B.C.E. as well as a Homo erectus calvaria from Indonesia catalogued as Sambungmachan 3 calvaria (SM-3). Dr. Márquez and the team he assembled in 2001 published in The Anatomical Record journal three papers on this curious fossil specimen. Findings were covered in both the international and national press that included The New York Times, NewsDay from New York and from El Tiempo and El Colombiano from the cities of Bogotá and Cali in Colombia, South America.

National Geographic Channel - World's Oldest Child (10:26 Excerpt)

In addition, Discovery News also reported on this anthropological investigation (3:07).

 

Findings from these papers helped to place the SM- 3 calvaria in the Homo erectus spectrum, exactly where was its place in human evolution was answered by Susan Antón of New York University, a Homo erectus specialist, who asked Sam Márquez to collaborate with her to present a holistic appraisal of Asian Homo erectus cranial variation that culminated in a paper published in the Journal of Human Evolution.

The Márquez collection of MR/CT scanned primate material includes the great apes, lesser apes, and both Old and New World monkeys. His terrestrial mammalian sample includes 12 genera categorized into carnivore, ominivore, frugivore and folivore specimens.

This collection of cranial imaging has permitted Dr. Márquez to develop an unprecedented understanding of intracranial structures of these various mammalian species that are difficult to see otherwise. His work led to a November 2008 issue as a guest editor of a special issue of the Anatomical Record journal entitled: “The Paranasal Sinuses: The Last Frontier in Craniofacial Biology.” Dr. Márquez assembled a Who’s Who of internationally recognized sinus workers that encompasses roughly 65 millions of the Tertiary beginning with the famed Tyrannosaurus rex fossil and its remarkable pneumatized skull, touching on our extinct human ancestors of Neanderthals and their sinus complex, and ending with the health and maintenance of sinus biology in humans. See the impressive front cover of that special issue in the Anatomical Record below.

Given that sinusitis initiates a substantial impact on the health and economy in the US afflicting more than 57 million people Dr. Márquez adjusted his career goals specifically to collaborate towards development of proper diagnostic protocols, therapeutic treatments and preventive measure strategies that would provide an invaluable resource to clinicians world-wide. Clinical collaborators include Steven D. Schaefer MD, former Chair and Chief of Sinus Surgery of Otolaryngology from the Eye, Ear Infirmary and William Lawson MD, current Vice-Chair and Eugen Grasbcheid Professor of Sinus Research of Otolaryngology from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.  He is currently collaborating with Dr. James Zinreich, former Chief of Head & Neck Radiology from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine publishing recently in Rhinology in July 2022 a manuscript entitled: “3D CT Stereoscopic Imaging: Observations of the Frontal and Anterior Ethmoid Sinuses Development from birth to early adulthood.” NSF and NIH have funded Dr. Márquez innovative research, which complement his basic science and clinical objectives.

Dr. Márquez, in 2021, published two manuscripts as a senior author in the Journal of Interventional Radiology (the premier journal for the Interventional Radiologist) and Computational Mathematical Methods in Medicine sponsoring and supporting former Downstate med students who are now well into their residency years of training.  His productivity in peer review publications continues in the August 2022 issue of the Anatomical Record where he ushers in, as Co-Guest Editor (Dr. Anthony Pagano the other guest editor), the special issue on the Nasopharynx, completing a three year endeavor of recruiting and shepherding the fourteen articles by international and national authors who have contributed to the issue.  From the French otolaryngologist Roger Jankowski who covered the growth and development of the nasopharynx between a time period of  half a billion years ago to present day mammals employing the Evo-Devo approach; French paleoanthropologist Antoine Balzeau, from the Musée de l’Homme, who used micro-CT imaging to analyze the internal and external morphological differences of the nasopharynx and skull base of modern humans and Neanderthals; Frank Rühli Dean of the Medical Faculty & Director of the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine in Zurich, Switzerland who focused on Egyptian mummies revealing that the ancient Egyptians had considerable knowledge of the nasopharyngeal region; and Markus Bastir a craniofacial biologist from Spain who analyzed differences in airflow dynamics in the nasopharynges of humans and chimpanzees. American authors are equally represented such as Professor Timothy Smith (Slippery Rock University School of Physical Therapy, Pennsylvania) examining the upper airways of bats, otolaryngologist David Friedland (Medical College of Wisconsin) tracking the region clinically and even illustrating the proper method of swabbing for Covid-19 testing using nasopharyngeal anatomy as a guide.  Pagano and Márquez contributed a number of articles to the special issue one of which entitled: The 5,000 year history of study of the nasopharynx providing the framework from which to launch the special issue.  They also co-authored an additional paper that was among the first to use nasopharyngeal morphology to analyze the "muddle in the middle" of the Pleistocene fossil record, a controversial period of human evolution predating directly the appearance of modern humans and Neanderthals.  Their analysis found evidence of modern human and Neanderthal morphology among fossil specimens from this period, suggesting that the two groups are a product of mutual isolation dating back to this time period.  Whether you are a biologist, anatomist, anthropologist, or otolaryngologist, the special issue reports on the body of work that is being undertaken globally on the nasopharynx. The special issue brings up to date all these areas of inquiry and is a must-see issue for those who wish to fully appreciate the region historically, developmentally, evolutionarily, and clinically (see cover page to this special issue that attempts to summarize all the different approaches used to studying the nasopharynx).

Professor Márquez peer review publications have been featured on a National Geographic documentary on the “World’s Oldest Child” and on The Discovery Channel’s “Discovery News.” Aside to his basic science contribution, he is also a medical educator; serving as Co-Discipline Director of Anatomy at SUNY Downstate’s College of Medicine and is Director of Anatomy in the School of Health Professions. He arrived at SUNY Downstate feeling incredibly welcomed by one of the most diverse student bodies in the country.  Dr. Márquez’s instinctive impulse is to give back, which speaks to his dedication of service to the school.  His service includes serving as Chair of the Committee on Academic & Professional Qualifications (CAPQ), he currently serves on the Admissions Committee, is a member of the Dean’s Council, and was recently elected to serve on the CAPQ beginning the Fall 2022 semester.  Dr. Márquez has a long track record in directing and participating in education outreach programs and is an elected board member of the prestigious American Association for Anatomy. Dr. Márquez also serves as Director of the Anatomical Donor program, which oversees the acquisition, distribution, and final disposition of donor bodies for medical education and research. His sense of fairness and track record of advocacy were recognized when he was elected as Vice President of Academics for UUP’s Downstate Chapter.  

Dr. Márquez is Co-Discipline Director of Gross Anatomy of the College of Medicine. He is the Director of Gross Anatomy in the School of Health Professions and Director of the Anatomical Gift program here at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. 

Dr. Márquez has inspired and sponsored over 215 students from the College of Medicine and nine students from the Physician Assistant and Physical Therapy Programs to undertake research projects that have culminated in abstract publications usually during their first year of their post graduate training.  Giving the opportunity to present their work to the American Association for Anatomy meetings under the umbrella of Experimental Biology conference, students have been able to travel to Washington, DC, San Diego, San Francisco, New Orleans, Chicago, and Philadelphia to name a few of the conference onsite meeting locations.  Downstate medical students learn to network, hone their presentation skills, and are the natural ambassadors of our school in these professional meetings.  Dr. Márquez undertakes this activity to make medical students more marketable when they apply to residency programs displaying their achievement of publication during their first year of medical school, which is an outstanding advancement in their curriculum vitae. 

He continues to be a strong advocate for education outreach strategies aimed at increasing awareness for health science careers at the high school level.  In 2007 he received the Special Partner in Medical Education Award from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine’s Center for Excellence in Youth Education. The award presentation cited his dedication to medical education and his interest in encouraging high school and college students to pursue careers in the health care field.  Dr. Márquez was also the recipient of the Center of Anatomy and Functional Morphology’s Award for Excellence in Medical Education for his singular efforts in fostering excellence in anatomical education across academic levels from pre-college to post graduate students.  Collaborations with Dr. Lloyd Sherman, EdD of Mount Sinai School of Medicine pursued implementation of the innovative approach of Dyad Pedagogy (DP) in teaching anatomy to first-year PA and PT students here at Downstate since 2005.  DP has been shown to improve engagement and morale, it increases appetite for learning, enhances ability to relate to others, increases self-confidence and self-image, and improves oral expression. Aside from the duties he performs in medical education here at Downstate, Dr. Márquez has offered medical and health profession students the chance to work side by side with him on his research endeavors mentoring under-represented students during their critical first year in medical school.  His efforts were recognized in 2019 with the Dedication Service and Mentorship Recognition Award from the Latino Student National Medical Association Chapter sponsored by The Daniel Hale Williams Society.  He was awarded two grants from the American Association for Anatomy for education outreach in anatomy in 2010 and again in 2012.  Dr. Márquez is extremely grateful for faculty from Downstate and other medical institutions that are asked to participate in these education outreach activities and do so without compensation.  The giving of their time and energy displays not only their generosity but their commitment to the goals of education outreach.  Some of the faculty who have participated include Dr. Jenny Libien, Chair of Pathology; Dr. Clinton Brown, Professor in the Division of Renal Disease; Katherine Perkins, Associate Professor from the Dept of Physiology and Pharmacology; Mark Silverberg, Professor of Emergency Medicine; Rick Sadovsky, Professor of Family Medicine; Riccardo Bianchi, Associate Dean of Medical Education; Joanne Katz, Chair of the Physical Therapy program, and Michael Lucchesi, Chair of Emergency Medicine.  Other faculty outside of Downstate include Directors of Anatomy Distinguished Professor Jeffrey T Laitman - Icahn School of Medicine, Professor Estomih Mtui - Weill Cornell Medicine, Professor Ray Dannenhoffer - Jacobs School of Medicine & Biological Sciences at University of Buffalo, and Professor Michael Smith - Albany Medical College.  (And yes, the last two faculty participants made the trip from Upstate New York to NYC to engage with students).  These activities have reached hundreds of middle, and high school students with the most recent outreach event occurring in December 2021 targeting our own Downstate allied health students who never had the opportunity to be in an anatomy laboratory due to the Covid-19 pandemic (see images below).
