  UMR aims to provide a wide base of knowledge, integrated both across disciplines that creates a well rounded individual able to confront the challenges of an ever changing world.Currently, Andrew is responsible for the curricular design and implementation of Anatomy and Physiology I and Immunology. He is currently conducting research on increasing the public understanding of science and science communication skills within a health science undergraduate curriculum as well as mentoring a group of student researchers exploring learning in a model organism. He serves on the campus curriculum committee (Chair 14-15) and is leading a full curriculum revision and review.

  My graduate research focused on the development of a model for examining the genetic differences that affect nicotine response. Specifically, I developed an assay that could be applied within a forward genetic approach using gene-breaking transposon mutated fish (tagged with either ubiquitous GFP or localized mRFP) to examine the genetic component of the nicotine response. Additionally, I developed methodology to bring microscopy to a wider audience by simplifying and innovating upon the standard the microscope design.During this time, he also developed curriculum and educated school teachers on simple genetics through InSciEd Out Education.
