Ph.D. - University of Nottingham

Office: Bahamas Clinical Site
ph: 242-350-2300 x2346

The Ph.D., degree was awarded for research into the immune response to parasite helminths by the University of Nottingham, UK, followed by three years as a post-doc in the Department of Immunology at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. A further one-year was spent as a temporary assistant professor at the University of Wyoming. This was then followed by three years in the Department of Immunology at Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School in London, prior to returning to the US as an associate professor in the Department of Veterinary and Microbiological Sciences at North Dakota State University, to teach immunology and carry out research into the immunology of infections. Twelve years at NDSU was followed by a move to North Georgia College and State University as Professor and Harry B. Forester Chair of Biology, before arriving at Ross University.
