About Newport Biotech

My training is in the field of genetics (PhD, University of Washington, Seattle). I did post doctoral study at the Istituto di Genetica, Universitá di Pavia, Italy and the Fox Chase Cancer Center. I have extensive experience in the academic community, including faculty positions at the University of Kansas and Texas Tech University. Currently I am an adjunct faculty member at Northern Kentucky University. I have authored over 60 peer-reviewed publications reporting original research in genetics, immunology, developmental biology, evolution, cancer biology and animal science. I have written three books (one in which I was the sole author; two as a joint author). I have written almost 100 articles in biotech trade papers, including commentaries, editorials and book reviews.

I have been the principal investigator or co-principal investigator on over $2.5M of federal and privately funded research grants, and I was the principal investigator on a small business innovative research grant (SBIR) from the National Institutes of Health to Meridian Biosciences, Inc.

In addition to my academic experience, I have been associated with Meridian Bioscience, Inc., an immunodiagnostics firm located in Cincinnati, for the last 10 years. I was first involved in a research project supported by the company, and later as Director of Biological Sciences Research at their Cincinnati facility. In addition to my involvement as a research scientist at Meridian, I have consulted for numerous private companies.
