Paul Ernest Love is an American physician and Immunologist. He is a senior investigator and head of the Section on Hematopoiesis and Lymphocyte Biology at Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. His research focus is in the area of mammalian hematopoiesis.

Education

Love earned his B.S. in biochemistry, summa cum laude, from Syracuse University.[1] He received his M.D. and a Ph.D. in the MSTP program at the University of Rochester.[2]

Career

Love started his career as an intramural Principal Investigator in 1993 and is now a tenured senior investigator at NICHD.[3] He was a commissioned officer in the United States Public Health Service from 1989 to 2019 and retired with the rank of captain in 2019.

His lab is part of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and investigates T cell development.

Love and his colleagues have conducted studies on several aspects of mammalian T cell development including the role of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling and the role of the newly identified molecule, THEMIS (protein), in T cell development and for T cell function.[4]
