Gregg Jongeward
Dean Jongeward, graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS聽in Genetics and Cell Biology from the University of Minnesota. He holds a PhD in Developmental Genetics from the California Institute of Technology and has completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco in the area of cancer research, funded by the American Cancer Society.
He has been at 91成人导航 since 1996. Before his appointment as Senior Associate Dean, he served as Co-Chair of the Biological Sciences department. He and his lab at COP develop DNA fingerprinting tools for studies of evolutionary biology and ecology.
Prior to joining 91成人导航, Dr. Jongeward did extensive research in the area of cancer and developmental biology, looking at how newly formed cells communicate with their neighbors to determine their fates and functions. 聽The genes that control these decisions are the very same genes that, when mutated, push a cell towards forming a tumor. He has been published in聽Science,听Molecular Cell Biology,听Development,听Genes and Development,听Genetics, and聽Nucleic Acids Research. He has also presented at international, national, and regional meetings.
