To
ensure that the content, products and services provided to its audiences
meet the highest standards, Research To Practice has assembled a team of experienced clinicians
and industry professionals.
Since the completion of his fellowship in medical oncology in 1977, Dr Neil
Love has been committed to cancer treatment, research and education beginning
with his appointment to the University of Miami Comprehensive Cancer Center
in the division of breast cancer research. For over 10 years, Dr Love was
involved in clinical research and patient care as a university faculty member.
During this time, Dr Love observed that many effective oncology strategies
utilized by physicians in academia were underutilized in community practice.
He was also struck by the effectiveness with which the perspectives and
opinions of research leaders could influence physician and patient behavior.
These observations and the ideas that sprung from them encouraged Neil
to branch out from direct patient care, and in 1983 he founded Research To Practice.
After a variety of pilot education initiatives and programs, in 1988 he
launched the audio journal Breast Cancer Update for the sole purpose of
providing community physicians ongoing access to the opinions and perspectives
of research leaders. Since that time, Dr Love has interviewed almost every
major breast cancer research leader in the world and has forged unique relationships
with many of them, including Sir Richard Peto, Bernard Fisher, Gabriel Hortobagyi,
Michael Baum, and Clifford Hudis. His poignant questioning and insightful
interviews have earned him the unofficial title of “the Larry King
of oncology!”
While much of Dr Love’s work has focused on providing innovative continuing
medical education to clinicians, he also has extensive experience as a community
health educator. Dr Love is the co-chair for the Miami Breast Cancer Conference,
and for over 10 years he was the Director of Community and Physician Education
for the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center. In this role,
Dr Love was the regular host of the Medical Center’s monthly cable-access
television program, JMH Monitor.
Dr Love obtained a BS in biology from Johns Hopkins University and is a
graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
