Education

1982-1988: Postdoctoral Training, University of Vermont

1968: Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania

Academic Interests

As I am ‘retired’, my primary responsibilities currently are confined to teaching in Human Structure and Function (HSF).

Research Interests

Although my research activities are presently limited, I have a longtime interest in developmental neurobiology, in particular axon guidance in developing chick embryos. Most of my recent studies have been in collaboration with Dr. Cynthia Forehand’s laboratory. I am interested in factors that influence the development of appropriate axon pathways in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Preganglionic sympathetic neurons as well as spinal sensory neurons have been used as model systems.

Academic Appointments

2012-Present: Assistant Professor, Department of Neurological Sciences, University of Vermont College of Medicine
