Gerald D. Griffin, Ph.D.Assistant Professor, Biology College of Arts & Sciences Email: ggriffin@mytu.tuskegee.edu Office Phone: 334-727-8829 Office Address: 104 Armstrong Hall Tuskegee, Alabama 36088 Dr. Gerald D. Griffin is a neurovirologist. His research interests focus on the reciprocal interactions between neurotropic viruses and neurons. He received the Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN) in 2009 where he concentrated in neuroendocrinology. He completed postdoctoral training in the Department of Microbiology at UPENN where he focused on how Herpes Simplex Virus Type I alters neuronal gene expression. Presently, Dr. Griffin leads the neurovirology laboratory at Tuskegee. Here, he aims to dissect neural modifications induced by HSV-1 infection as well as to look at how neuropeptides regulate HSV-1 replication. Representative Publications:

Dauphin Island, AL Biographical Sketch: Professor Douglas Hileman received his B,S, from Case Western Reserve University in 1972 and his M.S and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan in 1975 and 1981, respectively. His research has focused on the effects of elevated CO2 on the photosynthetic rates and water relations of sweetpotato and peanut. This work is relevant to the responses of crops to global climate change, as well as to the possibility of growing crops in space as part of a long-term space mission to Mars. Dr. Hileman has taught courses in Ecology, Environmental Biology, Botany, Plant Physiology, General Biology, as well as a course in Mathematics, Computers and Biosciences. He serves as the coordinator of the Marine Biology concentration in the Biology Department and as the Tuskegee University representative to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab Program Committee. He has also been involved in the recruitment of minority students into careers in ecology and field biology, through the SEEDS program funded by UNCF. Representative Publications:

Dr. Marcia Martinez earned her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of the City University of New York. Her training included molecular, cellular and developmental biology as well as in genetics and immunology. Her research centers around the contributory role of failures in central tolerance in the thymus and the development of autoimmune disease states such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Her group focuses on understanding the relationship between a specialized group of thymic epithelial cells called nurse cells and their interaction with developing T cells. She also serves as the Chair of the Tuskegee University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, the Deputy Director for Research and Training for the Tuskegee University Health Disparities Research Institute and as the Program Director for the Tuskegee University MARC U STAR Honors Fellowship program.
