Dr. Ted Ross Joins the Vaccine & Gene Therapy Institute of Florida as Program Director
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute of Florida (VGTI Florida), a leading nonprofit immunological research institute, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ted M. Ross, Ph.D., as Program Director. Dr. Ross will explore new vaccine technologies intended to protect against all strains of seasonal influenza. Such a vaccine could potentially eliminate the need for seasonal flu shots.
Traditionally, the flu vaccine is a mixture of inactive influenza viruses. However, Dr. Ross is taking a novel approach by examining the use of a synthetic vaccine created from genetic sequences of many different flu viruses. Dr. Ross previously used this method to produce a vaccine against the H5N1 virus, commonly known as the bird flu. The vaccine, well-tolerated in pre-clinical trials, successfully protects against known strains of bird flu. Dr. Ross and his VGTI Florida colleagues are applying similar strategies to fight other serious viruses such as West Nile Virus, Dengue and HIV Type 1 (HIV-1).
The holy grail of influenza vaccine research is a vaccine that protects against all influenza strains, avoiding the need for annual vaccinations, said Jay Nelson, Ph.D., founder and Executive Director, VGTI Florida. Were genuinely excited that Dr. Ross has joined us. His extensive background in immunology and microbiology will further benefit our efforts to develop vaccines that can help people with influenza, especially the elderly, added Dr. Rafick Skaly, Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Director of the institute.
Most recently, Dr. Ross was an Associate Professor, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, where he served in the Microbiology and Molecular Genetics department and was a full member of the Center for Vaccine Research. Prior to that, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at East Carolina University, School of Medicine in North Carolina.
Dr. Ross has co-authored numerous scientific articles published in journals such as Nature Immunology, The Journal of Virology, Journal of Infectious Disease, Vaccine, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He is a member of the American Society for Virology, American Society of Microbiology, Sigma Xi, International Society of Vaccines, and others. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Arkansas in Zoology and Microbiology, respectively. Dr. Ross earned his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in Microbiology & Immunology. Additionally, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in HIV Research at Duke University and a Senior Research Associate in HIV Vaccine Research at Emory University.
VGTI Florida
VGTI Florida is a leading immunological research institute that is on an urgent mission to transform scientific discoveries into novel treatments and cures for devastating chronic illnesses such as cancer and HIV/AIDS. VGTI Florida is an independent non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization located in the Tradition Center for Innovation in Port St. Lucie, Florida. For more information, please visit http://www.VGTIFL.org.

Jason Silva, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Melissa Sterry on Startalk Radio
On November 27th, 2012, StarTalk Live brought a little science to the world of dollars and cents at the Business Insider IGNITION conference. Now you #39;re invited to hear astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, comic co-host Eugene Mirman and guest futurists Jason Silva and Melissa Sterry answer questions that lie at the intersection of technology, human biology and urban planning. Will bio-ware and nanotechnology allow humans to reprogram our biology? Can smart-materials, adaptive structures and sensor nets help city planners and policy makers create smart cities that adapt to environmental change the way forests do? Are we really approaching a "technological singularity" of emerging super-intelligence beyond which events cannot be predicted -- and has humanity actually experienced one before?
