Biography

I am an Assistant Professor of Biology at Appalachian State University and have been here since 2010. I received my Ph.D. at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in 1997 in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, in the field of Molecular Virology. From 1998-2001, I carried out my postdoctoral work at the Wistar Institute and the University of Pennsylvania investigating the mechanisms of herpes simplex virus latency and pathogenesis. I moved back to Wake Forest University School of Medicine in 2001 and carried out research in developing vesicular stomatitis virus as anti-cancer agents. My present research at Appalachian State University focuses on virus-host interactions and development of oncolytic agents against a variety of cancer types.
