Summary: | We honor the life of Howard W. Jones, Jr., MD, 104, a pioneer and visionary in
reproductive medicine, a dedicated mentor, internationally renowned
gynecological surgeon, and the father of in vitro fertilization IVF) in the
United States. Dr. Jones founded the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine,
in Norfolk, Virginia, at Eastern Virginia Medical School, in 1983. Today, IVF
has grown exponentially not only in its direct application but also in the
development of newer techniques would have been unimaginable a couple of decades
ago. Throughout the years Dr. Howard has been a teacher and a mentor to many
around the world. To us he also was a friend, a supporter at the time of
difficult decisions, someone who would inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and
instill a love of learning and untangling some of the complexities of the field,
even of the human condition. His leadership, vision, knowledge, enthusiasm and
inquisitive mind will be missed. |
