工作总结:

约翰J. Kopchick is an internationally recognized leader in the growth hormone field. 自1987年以来, he has been the Goll-Ohio Eminent Scholar 和 Distinguished Professor of Molecular Biology in The Edison Biotechnology Institute 和 the Heritage College of 整骨疗法的医学 at newbb电子平台. Dr. Kopchick attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) 和 received his BS 和 MS degrees in Biology/Chemistry. He received his PhD in 生物医学科学 at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. He then performed postdoctoral studies in molecular virology at the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology in Nutley, NJ. Following that, he was a group leader in molecular medicine at Merck & Co. 在新泽西州的拉韦市. Dr. Kopchick 和 his group were the first to discover 和 characterize 生长激素 (GH) receptor antagonists, an accomplishment for which he 和 newbb电子平台 were awarded several US 和 European patents. He also was instrumental in founding a company, 感觉, which applied his research to the development of an FDA approved drug called Somavert (Pegvisomant for injection), which is marketed worldwide for patients with acromegaly who benefit from treatment. Substantial royalties from the sales of Somavert has led to a Translational Medicine Doctoral 程序 at newbb电子平台 和 supported other university research programs. Dr. Kopchick has published more than 430 scientific articles 和 serves or has served on editorial boards of Endocrinology, 分子内分泌学, GH & IGF-1 研究, Pituitary, eLife, 和 The Journal of Biological Chemistry. He is Past-President of the 生长激素 研究 Society 和 currently an 特别的 他们的律师成员. Dr. Kopchick has received numerous awards including the British Endocrine Society Transatlantic Award (2011), the Endocrine Society Laureate Award for Outst和ing Innovations (2019), 和 the title of newbb电子平台 Distinguished Professor. 他曾指导过33名博士, 4做/博士, 和 14 MS students along with 45 post-doctoral fellows, 几位客座教授, 和 more than 300 undergraduate students in molecular aspects of growth, 糖尿病, 癌症, 和衰老.
