My primary areas of research include science education and pedagogy, and intestinal inflammation and cell-cell interactions.  Click here to read more about my research interests and projects with undergraduates.

Previous teaching experience and training

I received my PhD in Physiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after completing my dissertation research on the actions of two hormones, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I, in intestinal physiology and inflammation.  My postdoctoral training included both research and teaching experience as a fellow in the Seeding Postdoctoral Innovators in Research and Education (SPIRE) program at UNC.  Syllabi of courses that I taught during my SPIRE fellowship are available here.
