Biography

I received my Ph.D. in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities in 2003.  My thesis work was focused on the regulation of fatty acid metabolism.  After doing a post-doctoral fellowship at the Center for Immunology at the University of Minnesota, I combined these two research interests while designing cell-based bioassays for obesity-related molecules and inflammatory mediators at Bio-Techne in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  In 2015, I joined the Chemistry Department at Bethel University in Saint Paul, Minnesota and currently enjoy teaching Biochemistry and General Chemistry while conducting research with undergraduate students.
