David Eric Biro (born 1964) is an American writer and physician.
Education and academic career
[edit | edit source]Biro was born in 1964,[1] and grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where he attended Poly Prep with his three sisters.[citation needed] He received a BA in Classics from University of Pennsylvania.[2] He went on to receive an MD from Columbia University in 1991,[3] and a DPhil in English Literature in 1993 from the University of Oxford.[4]
Biro is an associate clinical professor of Dermatology and Medical Humanities at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn,[5] and a clinical assistant professor of Dermatology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.[3] He teaches general dermatology with a focus on skin cancer.[citation needed]
In the medical humanities, Biro's main areas of expertise are the expressibility of pain,[6] the psychological dimensions of pain,[7] illness narratives, and the patient experience.[8][non-primary source needed]
Writing
[edit | edit source]In 1996, Biro discovered that he had a rare bone marrow disease, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. He was treated by a bone marrow transplant from one of his sisters.[9] He wrote in 2000 about his experience as a patient, and how it changed his work as a physician, in his first book One Hundred Days: My Unexpected Journey from Doctor to Patient.[10] He also drew on this experience in his second book, The Language of Pain: Finding Words, Compassion, Relief, which discusses the use of language to express pain.[11]
His first work of fiction, The Magnificent Dappled Sea, was published in 2020. This was followed by a second novel in 2021.
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Biro married fashion executive Daniella Vitale in 1991.[2][12][better source needed]. The couple live in Manhattan with their sons.[13]
