CBS Welcomes 5 New Faculty in the 2023-24 Year
Interdisciplinary cohort brings diverse perspectives, expertise to campus
The college was pleased to welcome five new faculty members to its ranks during the 2023-24 academic year. Joining the Departments of Plant Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, and the Center for Neuroscience, each faculty adds breadth and depth to the college’s research and teaching portfolio.
“As our world advances in both knowledge and need, our faculty are poised to continue leading the way toward new discoveries, innovations and in the training and education of the next generation of scientists,” said Mark Winey, dean of the College of Biological Sciences. “I am so pleased to welcome this new group of faculty to our college, and to our campus. I know they will make a lasting difference in the lives of our students, and in our collective understanding of life on Earth.”
The new faculty began at varying times throughout the year, and will begin teaching in the fall of 2025. With expertise ranging from the behavior of frogs and wild bees, to the regeneration of eyes in aquatic snails and the development of maize, they will make significant contributions to the excellence and scientific breadth of the college.
