Heard Robins partner
Ian Cloud spoke on the future of
asbestos litigation at
Harvard Medical School. Mr. Cloud taught at Harvard's course, "Current Concepts in Asbestos Related Pulmonary Disease," at the invitation of the course directors, Harvard Medical School's
Dr. Eugene J. Mark,
Dr. Richard L. Kradin, and
Dr. David C. Christiani. The course directors invited Ian Cloud, as a member of a select group of distinguished attorneys, judges, and scientists from across the nation, to participate in the course as
Visiting Faculty and contribute his special expertise in asbestos litigation.
Speaking to an audience of medical and legal professionals, Mr. Cloud explained that Americans continue to suffer from
mesothelioma. Most scientists estimate that 2,500 to 3,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with mesothelioma annually. One author even estimates that, based on
SEER data and the new
ICD coding system, as many as 6,000 Americans may be diagnosed with mesothelioma each year.
