Education:
B.S., 1975, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa (Bacteriology) Ph.D.,
1979, University of Missouri at Columbia (Microbiology) N.S.F.
and American Cancer Society Post-doctoral Fellow 1979–1981,
University of Minnesota, St. Paul
Teaching Responsibilities:
I give a number of lectures in the team-taught freshman biology class for majors (Biol. 10504) as well as in the sophomore level cell, molecular and developmental biology course (Biol. 30603). In addition, I teach a junior/senior level genetics course (Biol. 40123) each fall and a microbiology course (Biol. 20233) in the spring. I have occasionally taught a graduate-level genetics course as well as a variety of seminar courses.
Administrative Responsibilities:
Since 1991 I have been Chair of the Health Professions Advisory Committee (a.k.a. "the premed committee"). In this capacity I oversee the prehealth professions students at TCU, including pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-veterinary medicine, pre-optometry, and pre-pharmacy students. In addition, I am faculty advisor to TCU’s chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta, the pre-health professions honor society.
Research Interests:
Beginning with my post-doctoral fellowship, I have studied the genetics and biochemistry of DNA repair and mutagenesis in the small free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Most recently, in collaboration with Dr. Naoaki Ishii of Tokai Medical School, I have explored the relationship between oxidative stress and aging. In particular, we are interested in free radical production in mitochondria.
