His experience and knowledge make him a perfect fit for this position,&#8221; Dr. Markin said. &#8220;I have complete confidence that he will make things happen and strengthen our research enterprise. At the same time, I want to salute Dr. Batra for all his efforts. He did an excellent job as senior associate dean, but he now needs to focus on running his department.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Fox joined UNMC in 2008 as professor and executive vice chairman of the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience. <\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=\"0\" width=\"260\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"3\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<TABLE border=\"1\" width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"5\" bgcolor=\"EAE4A9\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n<font face=\"arial\"><br \/>\n<B><br \/>\nAnother activity<br \/>\n<\/B><br \/>\n<BR><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n<font face=\"arial\" size=\"2\"><br \/>\nDr. Fox also is involved in the UNMC High School Alliance, a new project that will bring 36 high school students from 17 area high schools to UNMC this fall.

They represent the key focus areas of my efforts in this new role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A seasoned researcher, Dr. Fox&#8217;s research deals with disease pathogenesis.
