In case you missed it, here is UPMC's official statement. In my opinion their researchers should not have access to identifiable information in the first place, and even if the affected patients were the faculty member's patients, there is no reason said faculty member should be able to copy and paste such information into a presentation. C'mon UPMC, "honest broker" your data so this does not happen again.
