Justin is Professor of Molecular Medicine and Professor and Vice Chair of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Sciences at the Cleveland Clinic, where he is the Melvin H. Burkhardt Endowed Chair for Neuro-Oncology Clinical Research. Justin’s research interests encompass interactions between cancer cells in gliomas and their environment, including interactions with immune cell compartments and differences between the behavior of gliomas between males and females. Justin’s research extends from basic biological discovery to the development of clinical trials.

Fun Fact: Justin runs his own very successful lab, currently comprising 12 people, but kindly offered to transfer his funds to Rameen in exchange for a position in Rameen’s lab.

Fun Fact #2: Rameen suspects that he will never see those funds or see Justin in his lab, but looks forward to continuing to collaborate with him.
