Marshall 'Chip' Montrose Named Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School
Following a national search, University of Cincinnatis Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Beverly Davenport has named Marshall "Chip" Montrose to serve as Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School, effective August 1, 2014, pending approval by the Board of Trustees.
Montrose has provided exceptional leadership experience within the College of Medicine since joining the University of Cincinnati in 2004. During his tenure at UC, Montrose has served as Professor and Chair of Molecular and Cellular Physiology and Interim Chair of the Department of Pharmacology and Cell Biophysics. He has also been instrumental in leading the College of Medicines interdisciplinary initiatives at the graduate level.
Montrose is a corresponding principal investigator on an NIH Training Grant for pre-doctoral work in "Multidisciplinary training for Systems Biology." He also led the teams writing two Choose Ohio First grants to support University-wide STEM PhD programs and STEM MS programs; successfully securing $3.1 million for STEM PhD Programs and $1.2 million for STEM MS programs.
I look forward to working with Dr. Montrose to build upon the outstanding successes of retiring Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School Robert Zierolf, who provided leadership for record enrollments and strengthening our nationally ranked graduate programs, said Davenport.
Prior to joining the University of Cincinnati, Montrose played an integral role in enhancing graduate education at Johns Hopkins Universitys School of Medicine and Indiana Universitys School of Medicine. At Johns Hopkins University, Montrose helped develop the schools first PhD program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine. At IU, Montrose re-envisioned a Biophysics PhD program by integrating new technologies and ultimately restructuring it to become a new Bimolecular Imaging program.

Dr. Liran Oren is leading a research team at the University of Cincinnati developing a VortexPAP machine that takes advantage of vortex airflow technology. A preliminary clinical study with current CPAP users demonstrated that the VortexPAP can deliver the pressure levels that are used in the subjects’ CPAP therapy, but the mask is more comfortable to wear. It has a minimalistic design that is less intrusive and barely touches the patient’s face.
