Good
Even though Dr. Eaton is a very nice guy, I didn't enjoy his class. The lectures were confusing and dense, his grading method was extremely unclear, and he gave many assignments without specific directions. The test review session weren't helpful at all and he waited till the last week to post the majority of our grades. He's an awesome dude, but a bad professor.
Biography
Rowan College-Gloucester County - Biology
Experience
Rowan University
Assistant Professor (3/4)
Teaching sections in Genetics, Cell Biology, Fundamentals of Cell Culture Techniques, and developing a new senior-level, writing-intensive, special topics course: Communicating Biology - Intersections and Disconnects Between Research and Public Opinion. I'm also beginning to advise a number of student clubs on campus.
Rowan University
Adjunct Professor
I taught a section in Genetics, including both the lecture and lab portions. I also helped develop and implement a new upper-level course for Bio and Engineering majors: Fundamentals of Cell Culture Techniques. I taught the inaugural semester in Spring 2016.
Rowan University
Lecturer
Gregory worked at Rowan University as a Lecturer
Thomas Jefferson University
PHD Candidate
I studied the mechanism of hypertrophic chondrocyte death, in particular the role of reactive oxygen species as upstream effectors of Apoptosis Signal-Regulating Kinase 1 (ASK1) MAP3 kinase in chondrogenesis as well as in mouse models of chondrocyte maturation/differentiation and osteoarthritis (OA) induction and progression. I found that in the presence of stress activators, ASK1 increases cell death and decreases cartilage growth in metatarsal culture. Chondrocytes lacking ASK1 are more resistant to cell death after exposure to these treatments. ASK1 expression is increased in human OA, and ASK1 knockout (KO) mice in two mouse models of OA (aging and meniscus destabilization) show less disease progression compared to age-matched wild-type mice of the same strain.
