Professor

Montana Tech Research Thrust: 生物医学科学与生物技术

Dr. Pedulla received her B.S. in Chemistry with a bioscience option at the University of Pittsburgh with coursework including studies in French and Japanese. She received her Ph.D. 在匹兹堡大学生物学博士的实验室里. Graham Hatfull. 在华盛顿州立大学做了一段时间的博士后之后, she ran the Phage Genomics facility at the Pittsburgh Bacteriophage Institute and co-developed a phage discovery program with Dr. Graham Hatfull.

Dr. Pedulla brought phage discovery to teachers and students across Montana beginning as an assistant professor of Biology at Montana Tech in 2005. 超过13000名学生参加了她的噬菌体发现项目. 她已经获得了几项重要的研究资助, 包括NIH与epa合作的两项资助 CFWEP.org 题目是“将研究带入课堂”,和“噬菌体帮助获得真正的科学经验”.”

Dr. Pedulla received her B.S. in Chemistry with a bioscience option at the University of Pittsburgh with coursework including studies in French and Japanese. She received her Ph.D. 在匹兹堡大学生物学博士的实验室里. Graham Hatfull. 在华盛顿州立大学做了一段时间的博士后之后, she ran the Phage Genomics facility at the Pittsburgh Bacteriophage Institute and co-developed a phage discovery program with Dr. Graham Hatfull. She brought phage discovery to teachers and students across Montana beginning as an assistant professor of Biology at Montana Tech in 2005. 超过13000名学生参加了她的噬菌体发现项目.其中有130多种新发现的噬菌体 entered into public databasesand >15 viral genomes annotated with teachers and students included as authors. 她已经获得了几项重要的研究资助, 包括NIH与epa合作的两项资助 CFWEP.org 题目是“将研究带入课堂”,和“噬菌体帮助获得真正的科学经验”,” and recently an NSF Major Research Instrumentation grant to acquire a multifunctional transmission electron microscope with which to image the student-discovered phages.
