EDUCATION
Postdoc, Medicine, University of Virginia (2001-2005) (see below)
Postdoc, Applied Mathematics, Brown University (1984-86)
Ph.D., Statistics, University of Chicago (1980)
M.S., Mathematics, Indiana University (1976)
M.A., Economics, West Virginia University (1974)
B.A., Economics, West Virginia Wesleyan College (1972)
2001-2005
Postdoc in Medicine: Financed by NIH K01 award (3-1/2 yrs) and NSF Interdisciplinary Mathematics award (1 yr). As part of this I took for credit the Years I and II MD courses: biochemistry, physiology, neuroscience, genetics, microbiology (2 semesters), and pathology (2 semesters), as well as the PhD Pharmacology course requirements: Biochemistry, Cell Structure and Function, Gene Expression, and Pharmacology (2 semesters). I spent one year doing animal surgeries in preparation for writing a PhD thesis, but decided that it was not the best use of the limited time. I returned to the medical coursework.
