Biography

Howard W. Jones, Jr., was born in Baltimore. He received his A.B in 1931 from Amherst College and his M.D. in 1935 from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 1948, Jones and his wife Georgeanna became part-time faculty in the department of gynecology and obstetrics in the school of medicine. In 1960, Howard and Georgeanna Jones left their private practice to become full-time faculty members at Johns Hopkins, in order to devote themselves more fully to research in gynecology and obstetrics. Howard Jones established the crytogenetics laboratory at Johns Hopkins when the field was in its infancy. The Joneses retired from Johns Hopkins in 1978 and were appointed professors of obstetrics and gynecology at Eastern Virginia Medical School, where they established the first in vitro fertilization program in the United States.
