Nick Ingoglia: Inside the World of Biomedical Research: The Pursuit of Truth and its Perversion by Self-Interest and Ambition- Are We Attracting the Right People into Science?

February 28, 2016 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Nick Ingoglia, PhD, a retired professor of neurobiology, will discuss how a passion for the truth can inspire a career — and how self-interest and personal ambition by some scientists can lead to scientific fraud. He will also discuss his attempts to attract socio-economically disadvantaged young people to careers in scientific research.

Dr. Ingoglia was a professor of Pharmacology/ Physiology and Neuroscience, and associate dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at UMDNJ. In 2006, he was selected as the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Minority PhD Program Faculty Mentor of the Year for his role in encouraging and supporting minority students in their quest for doctoral degrees. Dr. Ingoglia was nominated by his students on the Newark campus and received the award at a national meeting of The Compact for Faculty Diversity in Miami, Florida.

Dr. Ingoglia, a resident of North Caldwell, joined the New Jersey Medical School faculty in 1971. He received his PhD from New York University and completed his postdoctoral study at Cornell Medical School.
