Honoring Joe West
The EMBioSys family sadly shares the news of our loss of one of our co-Founders, Joe West (https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/columbus-oh/joe-west-12438559#services). Joe was one of the co-inventors of Efinia™ and induced electric field (iEF) therapy, and a key contributor to EMBioSys’ prototyping, research, and development efforts.
Joe also significantly contributed to teaching, mentorship, and training of undergraduate and graduate students, curriculum development and support of faculty research during his more than three decades at The Ohio State University ( Click here to learn more about Joe's legacy at OSU). OSU is fundraising to set up a Joe West Memorial Fund to continue his work in perpetuity (Click on this link https://buckeyefunder.osu.edu/project/47083 to learn more about how to contribute to this Fund).
EMBioSys will continue to persevere to realize Joe’s and our collective dream of translating iEF therapy to the clinic for the benefit of cancer patients. We join the entire OSU community of alumni, students, staff, and faculty in recognizing his many contributions and extend our deepest condolences to Joe’s family.
