Hello everyone!

I began as an adjunct instructor with Cincinnati State in 2004. I completed both my undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Cincinnati, after which, I began research in biodegradation in the UC Department of Molecular Genetics. I currently hold an M.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Cincinnati and have over 25 years of research experience as a Molecular Biologist—during that time, I studied plant genetics, biodegradation, muscle development, corneal disease, heart development, brain development, cancer, and, the genetics of Herpes Simplex Virus latency. I have worked in bacterial, mouse, and yeast systems during this period. My interests include: gene regulation, evolution, human development, molecular genetics, biochemistry, and, of course, teaching.

Since 2004, I have instructed courses for the University of Cincinnati, Sinclair Community College, Xavier University, Antonelli College, the University of Phoenix, and Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. The courses I have instructed include Biology, Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology, Molecular Biology, Ecology, and Health & Wellness.

I'm excited to be a member of this community!

Sincerely,

Richard--
