Innocent Njoku Jr. ‘09

Innocent Njoku Jr. ’09 will be at the National Institute of Health engaged in biomedical investigations as an Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) Fellow. He graduated Seton Hall University in 2009, Summa Cum Laude, and double majored in biology and biochemistry. He plans to attend medical school in the near future and believes this fellowship will aid in his aspiring bio-entrepreneurial vision of global health.

Mr. Njoku, a New Jersey resident, began his research training with Dr. Carolyn Bentivegna, chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, and has presented the findings of this work at several conferences. He hopes to continue his training by conducting translational research in the auto inflammatory disease section of the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases at the NIH. The NIH IRTA program provides opportunities for recent college graduates to work side-by-side with some of the world’s leading scientists in an environment devoted exclusively to biomedical research.
