Expert Source: David D. Markwardt, Ph.D.

David Markwardt teaches courses in cell biology, cell and molecular biology, and immunology. His research focuses on the biomolecular mechanisms that underlie a cell’s ability to modulate the expression of genes in response to changing environmental conditions. His laboratory uses fundamental biomolecular and genomic techniques including gene chip (DNA microarray) analysis.
