Biography

Andrew Hoffman assumed the deanship of the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in August 2018, after spending 24 years at Tufts University. At Tufts, he held roles including Director of Equine Sports Medicine and managed various laboratories focused on lung function testing, stem cell research, and regenerative medicine. Hoffman's laboratories have been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health for 20 years, demonstrating the impact of his research in veterinary medicine. He has advanced intellectual property licensing for non-invasive bronchoscopic therapies for emphysema, home sleep testing methods, and inhaler delivery systems for large animals. Additionally, he has developed non-invasive portable lung function testing devices and immunophenotypic biomarkers for cancer stem cells utilizing extracellular vesicles. His extensive experience encompasses the development of cell-based therapies and clinical trials for companion animals. His broad experiences have fostered an appreciation for the integral role veterinarians play in leading biomedical research and the significant opportunities they have to spearhead commercial and not-for-profit entrepreneurship across biotech, information technology, agri-tech, and pet-tech sectors.
