Phone: 973-720-3441
e-mail: gardnere@wpunj.edu
Office: Science 434A
Fall Office Hours: Mondays 2:00-3:15; Wednesdays 12:30-2:00

E. Eileen Gardner (Professor, Chair of Biology) received her B.A. in Biology from Northwestern University, and her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from The University of Texas at Austin. Her postdoctoral fellowship was at Harvard Medical School in the Spinal Cord Injury Research laboratory of Amico Bignami. She is currently the Chair of the Biology department and teaches General Biology, Developmental Biology Biotechnology:Proteins, Immunology, as well as various Anatomy and Physiology courses.

Dr. Gardner studies the expression of proteins during development. She has published papers on expression of nervous system proteins during development of rats and chicks. More recently, she has collaborated with Dr. Jaishri Menon, conducting research on protein expression during amphibian development.

 

Dr. Gardner is the coauthor of an interactive CD-ROM focusing on Disease Resistance, published by Wiley. She serves as a consultant to various testing industries in the area.

Dr. Gardner is a member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the New York Academy of Sciences
