Tulane Researchers Named Senior Members of National Academy of Inventors
Eight Tulane University researchers have been named Senior Members by the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), a designation that recognizes rising stars who drive a culture of innovation on campus and help develop the next generation of inventors.
NAI senior members are active faculty, scientists and administrators who have successfully produced, patented and commercialized technologies that bring real impact on the well-being of society and spur economic progress.
“These eight faculty members, whose pioneering research ranges from lifesaving vaccines and cancer therapies to advanced materials and breakthrough approaches to pain management and neurological disease, exemplify the depth and breadth of innovation across our campuses,” said Tulane University President Michael A Fitts. “Their work reflects our commitment not only to making discoveries, but to translating those discoveries into real-world solutions that advance health, drive economic growth and improve lives.”
Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Robin Forman said the group continues Tulane’s foundational mission of improving lives.
“We are so proud to see this wonderful recognition for a cohort of exceptional Tulane researchers. Their work continues Tulane's legacy, which extends back to our very founding, of translating path-breaking basic research into inventions that advance science and address some of society's most pressing challenges.”
