\n<\/a>Schedule & Office Hours<\/p>\n

I\u00a0graduated with a B.A. in Biology from the University of Delaware and an MS and Ph.D. in Genetics from the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine.\u00a0I joined the faculty of Elizabethtown College in 1993 and currently teach first year biology Molecules, Cells and Animal Systems; Cell Biology lecture and laboratory and Experimental Design in Cell Biology.\u00a0I am\u00a0the internship director and\u00a0manage the Biotechnology major and the Masters in Molecular Medicine Program with Drexel University College of Medicine.\u00a0My research interests center around the Simian Virus 40 (SV40) T antigen oncoprotein.\u00a0My lab has been funded by three NIH:NCI R15 awards, along with several student directed grants from the Beta Beta Beta National Honor Society and the Pennsylvania Academy of Science. Currently,\u00a0my students and I\u00a0use this SV40 T antigen model system for two broad research endeavors. One group is attempting to pinpoint how this protein blocks mouse preadipocyte stem cell differentiation; while a second group is narrowing down the activities of the protein that are responsible for the morphological changes seen in aggressive tumors.\u00a0I believe that research and discovery are at the heart of learning and scholarship at Elizabethtown College.<\/p>\n
