Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine Offers Monthly Seminars
NSU College of Medicine’s Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine (INIM) invites everyone to the latest session of its monthly Research Seminar Series. All seminars, held on the first Friday of the month, will be broadcast to regional campuses.
Join the INIM in the Chancellor’s Dining room in the Terry Building from 12:00-1:30 p.m. as Richard Jove, Ph.D., distinguished research professor and director, NSU Cell Therapy Institute presents, “Overview of the NSU Cell Therapy Institute.”
Richard Jove, Ph.D., is an accomplished cancer research scientist, professor who earned his doctoral degree at Columbia University in 1984 and trained as a postdoctoral fellow at the Rockefeller University in New York.
Jove began his independent research career in 1988 as assistant professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In 1995, he was recruited to help establish the Moffitt NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Tampa, where he was director of the Molecular Oncology Program and later associate director for basic science in the Moffitt Research Institute.
From 2005–2013, Jove was first chair of the Molecular Medicine Department and then director of the Beckman Research Institute as well as deputy director of the City of Hope NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Los Angeles, California.
