I joined the Department of Biomedical Sciences in 2007. I was attracted to Quinnipiac based on the high priority that it maintains for teaching students in new and innovative ways. There is also an emphasis on incorporating research into that teaching which gives students firsthand experience in a laboratory setting. As the Director of the Graduate Biomedical Sciences Program I have made it my goal to allow students the latitude to gain that research experience in a field of their interest. My research has been in the area of virology and bacteriology. I am also very interested in the impact scientists can have at the international level. As a result of that interest, I have led students on research partnerships abroad in Nicaragua and have currently developed a partnership in Barbados. I currently teach BMS 370, Introduction to Microbiology and BMS 470, Virology at the undergraduate level. At the graduate level, I teach BMS 570, Virology and BMS 556, Seminar in Health Care Disparities.
