It is a pleasure to serve as the Associate Dean of the USF Graduate School. I have been a faculty member at USF since 2000 and my faculty appointment is in the Department is Cell Biology, Microbiology and Molecular Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences. I have served as the major professor for numerous Doctoral and Masters students throughout my career and I still maintain my research laboratory and have published over 50 articles dealing with molecular pharmacology. As Associate Dean, my duties involve aspects of graduate academics, policies, thesis/dissertations, recruiting and admissions. My goal is to provide the highest level of communication and responsiveness to administrators, faculty and students in each of these areas. Please take some time to look through all of the content on the Graduate School website as there is a wealth of resources that can help everyone at USF become more informed about graduate education.
