Stocco Research Chair Ceremony
 

In a July 9 ceremony, Thomas Abbruscato, Ph.D., and Min Kang, Pharm.D., became the first recipients of the Douglas Stocco Research Chair, an endowment formerly known as the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center’s (TTUHSC) Research Endowment. The Texas Tech University System Board of Regents officially renamed the endowed chair in late November 2023 and made two appointments available. 

Abbruscato, professor and chair in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the TTUHSC Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy, said it is an honor to receive the endowment.

“Personally, I am humbled to have this associated with Dr. Douglas Stocco, who has left a lasting legacy of research and service to TTUHSC,” Abbruscato said. “I am excited to utilize these resources to move our NIH (National Institutes of Health) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) projects forward.”
