HAROLD AND KUMAR ACTORS WITH MED DEGREE FULL
Alireza Heidari is a Full Distinguished Professor and Academic Tenure of Chemistry at California South University (CSU), Irvine, California, USA. Dr Zhous major research interests are systems pharmacology, drug metabolism & drug transport, pharmacokinetics/pharmacometrics, pharmacogenomics, nanomedicine and Chinese medicine.ĭr. Since 2002, Dr Zhou has served as an Assistant Professor, Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor and Professor for the National University of Singapore, Queensland University of Technology, RMIT University in Australia, and now at USF. Professor Zhou completed his clinical medical training in China in 1989 and obtained his PhD in 2001 from the School of Medicine, the University of Auckland, New Zealand. USF is a global research university ranked 34th in federal research expenditures for public universities and is one of the fastest growing in federal funding in the US. USF is one of only 25 public research universities nationwide with very high research activity that is also designated as community engaged by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Professor Zhou is presently the Associate Vice President of Global Medical Development & Associate Dean of International Research, College of Pharmacy, University of South Florida, Tampa (USF), Florida. He made contributions in the diagnostic field by early applications of DNA techniques in identification of several pathogens of avian and animal diseases.

Khan has long-term experience in development and application of DNA probe, PCR, multiplex PCR and real-time PCR methods for rapid detecting of viral pathogens in clinical samples since 1987. He is also developing and testing nanoparticle based avian influenza (bird flu) vaccine. Currently he is involved in the development of innovative bioinformatics tool for viral quasispecies reconstruction using next generation sequencing data for the development of optimized vaccines. Currently the major research aims in his laboratory located at the Department of Pathobiology & Veterinary Science is the development of DNA based molecular diagnostic tests and vaccines for avian pathogens such as avian influenza, infectious bronchitis viruses. Khan is a Professor of Pathobiolgy at the University of Connecticut (UConn). Wigdahl is the 2013 recipient of the International Society for NeuroVirology Pioneer in Neurovirology Award presented in recognition of outstanding individual achievement in the field of neurovirology.

Wigdahl was awarded the Samuel Hinkle Society Outstanding Young Investigator award and more recently at Drexel University College of Medicine, the Julian Marsh, MD, Faculty Scholar Award for excellence in scientific research, outstanding teaching skills, and consistent high quality leadership. Wigdahl also served for six years as president of the International Society for NeuroVirology, and currently serves as treasurer of the Society. A senior associate editor of the Journal of NeuroVirology, Dr. Wigdahl has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and other agencies, foundations, commercial sources for over 35 years, with awards totaling more than $40 million. He has a total of more than 180 published or in press peer-reviewed publications.

Wigdahl focuses his immediate research on the molecular mechanisms, treatment, and prevention of immunologic abnormalities, cancer, and progressive neurologic disorders caused by members of the retrovirus and herpesvirus families. An internationally recognized molecular virologist, Dr. Brian Wigdahl, Ph.D., is professor and chair of Microbiology and Immunology, director of the Institute for Molecular Medicine and Infectious Disease, and director of the institutes Center for Molecular Virology and Translational Neuroscience at the Drexel University College of Medicine.
