Terry joined the Medical School in May 2007 from the University of Florida, where he was the Nemours Eminent Scholar and Chair of the Department of Pediatrics for the College of Medicine. He received his undergraduate degree in the biological sciences from the University of New Orleans in 1982, and his medical degree from the Louisiana State University School of Medicine in 1986. After serving his residency in pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University, he completed a pediatric pulmonary fellowship and postdoctoral training in molecular virology there in 1992. In 1996, Terry joined the faculty of the University of Florida and was appointed Associate Director of University of Florida’s Powell Gene Therapy Center. In 2000, he was named Director of the Powell Center and founding director of the newly established University of Florida Genetics Institute, a cross-campus multidisciplinary unit encompassing gene therapy, human genetics, agricultural genetics and comparative genomics. In 2002, he stepped down from these roles to accept the position of Chair of the Department of Pediatrics. As University of Florida Pediatrics Chair, Terry led the department in a number of key projects, including the establishment of a Division of Cellular and Molecular Therapy that has garnered more than $2 million per year in extramural funding from the National Institutes of Health and the creation of the Congenital Heart Disease Center of Excellence, which combines cutting-edge clinical care from pediatric cardiac surgery and cardiology in a unique single-line-of-business entity. Under his stewardship, the research grant revenue to the Department of Pediatrics nearly doubled and clinical revenue increased by nearly 50%. Key faculty recruits and high productivity in critical strategic areas, such as translational research in regenerative medicine and vital clinical programs in congenital heart disease, neurology and hematology-oncology, also characterized his successful University of Florida tenure. Since joining the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Terry has led numerous successful initiatives elevating the academic stature of the institution, including establishing the Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, elevating Ophthalmology to a department level, recruitment of the chairs of Neurology and OB/GYN, and development of the Advanced Therapeutics Cluster.

faculty and students. An internationally known pioneer in human gene therapy, Terry is currently investigating the use of gene therapy for genetic diseases that affect children, mainly cystic fibrosis. In 1995, he and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins became the first to use the apparently harmless adeno-associated virus, or AAV, as a vehicle to deliver corrective genes to targeted sites in the body, including the damaged airways of adults with cystic fibrosis. While at University of Florida, he continued his pediatric practice while pursuing clinical trials and basic laboratory research to determine how to treat genetic disorders using vectors, or viruses modified to carry corrective genes. He is the author of more than 180 scholarly papers and his research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Terry has received numerous honors and awards including the Society for Pediatric Research’s E. Mead Johnson Award for Outstanding Scientific Contributions and the University of Florida Faculty Research Prize in Clinical Science.
