Education

Love earned his B.S. in biochemistry, summa cum laude, from Syracuse University. [2] He received his M.D. and a Ph.D. in the MSTP program at the University of Rochester. [3] Before completing post-doctoral research at NICHD, he completed a residency program in Laboratory Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis and a fellowship in Human Genetics at NICHD.

Career

Love started his career as an intramural Principal Investigator in 1993 and currently serves as a tenured senior investigator at NICHD. [4] He was a commissioned officer in the United States Public Health Service [5] from 1989 to 2019 and retired at the rank of Captain in 2019.

His lab is located in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and has a long history of investigating T-cell development.

Love and his colleagues have conducted studies on several aspects of mammalian T cell development including the role of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling and the role of the newly identified molecule, Themis in T cell development and for T cell function. [6] Work from Love's lab has contributed unique insights into the function of the TCR signaling motifs (ITAMs) in T cell activation and for T cell effector responses.
