John M. Cassady joined OSU as Vice President for Research in March 2005. Dr. Cassady earned the PhD in Organic Chemistry at Case-Western Reserve University.
He was formerly Dean and Professor of Medicinal Chemistry, College of Pharmacy, Ohio State University, and before that Distinguished Professor and Head of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy at Purdue University. Cassady's research focused on the discovery and design of potential cancer drugs.
He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences (AAPS) and received an Honorary Doctor of Science degree from DePauw University and the Research Achievement Award in Natural Products Chemistry from the American Pharmaceutical Association. Cassady has served in leadership roles in various national professional and scientific associations.
Headed by the vice president, the Research Office serves faculty involved in innovative research and scholarship in all OSU colleges and departments, and in multidisciplinary centers, institutes, and programs. The units of the office provide support to secure funding, comply with regulations, transfer technology, partner with industry, establish collaborations across the university, and raise the profile of OSU.
"I am honored to head the research enterprise at OSU. The Research Office has a major role in the strategic plan to continue to serve the people of Oregon as we progress toward OSU's recognition as one of the nation's top ten land grant institutions. It is my pleasure to be working with our excellent faculty to achieve that goal. I celebrate the relevance and impact of OSU's research and scholarship," Dr. Cassaday said.
