| Faculty | Current Research Interests |
| Patricia Astry |
Microbiology/Immunology. My primary research interests focus on immunodiagnostics and sexually transmitted disease education. |
| Roger Byrne |
Invertebrate Biology. How animals maintain physiological function in a variable environment. |
| Bill Brown |
Ecology and Evolution. I study the ecology of cooperation and conflict in animal social groups and mating systems. |
| Scott Ferguson |
Developmental Genetics / Signal Transduction. My lab uses genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry to study the signaling pathways that control specification of the dorsal / ventral axis in the Drosophila egg. |
| Matt Fountain |
Biochemistry. The structural biology of RNA hairpin loops and the binding of regulator proteins to DNA. |
| Karry Kazial |
Animal Behavior. I am primarily interested in animal communication systems. My current research focuses on acoustic communication in bats and bat-insect interactions. |
| Ted Lee |
Molecular Biology. Characterization of microbial communities using genetic analysis. |
| Jon Titus |
Plant Biology. Development of plant communities in primary succession. |
| Bruce Tomlinson |
Developmental Biology. Genetic analysis of amphibian limb development; monoclonal antibodies. |
| Wayne Yunghans |
Cell Biology. Plant enzymes which are involved in the biosynthetic pathways leading to the formation of mint flavors. |
