Education: Ph.D., University of Rochester (Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology); M.S., University of Rochester (Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology); B.S., Grove City College (Biology)

Teaching and Research Interests: Developmental biology, cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology, genetics. Currently, I am interested in the role of the cytoskeleton during development of the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans. I am studying tubulin proteins (which make up microbubules) that are specifically expressed in the intestine of the worms. I look at worms that are mutant for particular tubulin genes to see what goes wrong in their absence to try to understand what these tubulins are doing normally in the intestines of the worms.

Education: Ph.D. Ecology, Kent State University; M.S Biology, University of Akron; M.A. Urban Studies and Planning, Antioch University; B.A. Biology and Creative Writing, Evergreen State College; Certificate in Horticultural Therapy, Horticultural Therapy Institute; Registered Horticultural Therapist (HTR), American Horticultural Therapy Association

Teaching and Research Interests: Plant biology, including pollination, plant responses to the environment, and best practices for propagating plants; medicinal and cultural use of plants; using plants to remove toxicants from the environment; the neurobiology of learning and its application in the classroom; and horticultural therapy.

Education: Ph.D., Montclair State University, environmental management; M.S., University of Texas, San Antonio, environmental science and engineering; M.S., University of Pune, India, environmental science; B.S., Modern College, University of Pune, microbiology

Research: My multidisciplinary research in environmental quality and remediation focuses on cleaning up nature using its own means. We develop natural techniques such as bioremediation (using microbes) and phytoremediation (using plants) to remediate soil and water pollution. Ongoing projects: Investigate the potential of eutrophication of Lake Ontario (evident in massive algal bloom in summer). Develop sustainable techniques to reduce the Great Lakes’ eutrophication potential, to clean up lead-contaminated backyards, and to clean up bisphenol A (BPA). I train undergraduates to think like independent researchers, using cutting-edge research skills and a deep understanding of research goals, hypotheses, and future applicability.

Education: Ph.D., Georgetown University; M.A., The Catholic University of America; B.A., The Catholic University of America

Teaching and Research Interests: Bioinformatics: computer analysis of DNA and protein sequences; computerized image analysis: three-dimensional microscopy of cells.

Education: Ph.D. Biology, University of South Florida; M.S. Zoology, University of South Florida; B.A. Biology with a minor in secondary education, Adelphi University

Teaching and Research Interests: Amphibian/reptilian physiological ecology; vertebrate anatomy. Specifically, I am interested in digestive physiology, including macronutrient absorption efficiencies, the metabolic cots associated with digestion, and chitinolytic enzyme systems. I am also interested in thermal physiology, energetics (especially metabolism), and anti predator mechanisms of reptiles and amphibians.

Education: Ph.D., Integrative Biosciences, The Pennsylvania State University; B.S., Biology, Duquesne University

Teaching and Research Interests: Toxicology, microbiology, cell and molecular biology, scientific communication, online education. My current research focuses on bioremediation -- exploiting the natural metabolic capabilities of plants and bacteria to degrade pollutants in our environment.

Education: B.Sc., University of Guelph, Major: Microbiology

Research Assistance: Help students with the purchasing of chemicals, supplies, and equipment that they need for their research; finding equipment and space to work, as well as train in techniques or on equipment and act as a consultant for microbiology isolations, culturing, and testing.
