Big congratulations are in order for Nova Southeastern University (NSU) professor of pharmacology,\u00a0bioethicist, and NAIA Board Member Dr. Robert Speth, who just received NSU’s\u00a0Sixth Annual Provost\u2019s Research and Scholarship Award!<\/p>\n

This award is to\u00a0honor NSU faculty members who have demonstrated “significant achievement in support of NSU’s mission to foster scholarship, intellectual inquiry, and academic excellence.” Provost Ralph V. Rogers Jr., PhD, had these glowing words for Dr. Speth:<\/p>\n

\n

Dr. Speth has distinguished himself as a researcher, an educator, and a staunch supporter of the NSU community. He has truly demonstrated what this award is meant to recognize: innovative and sustained activities in support of NSU’s mission to foster intellectual inquiry, academic excellence, research and a dynamic learning environment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dr. Speth’s\u00a0is known for his work\u00a0studying brain receptors for neurotransmitters and hormones. He focuses on the hormone angiotensin, which causes hypertension. His research has shown that receptors for angiotensin in the brain are strategically located to stimulate nerves that act upon the cardiovascular system to raise blood pressure. He is also widely recognized as a resource on the ethics of animal research. We are proud to have Dr. Speth as a board member, and thrilled to see him receive this prestigious reward!<\/p>\n
