Drs. Jandu, Simokat, and Meyers Join the Ashland Science Faculty
Dr. Narveen Jandu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology/Toxicology at Ashland University. She teaches course in Cell Biology, Human Biology and Microbiology. Her
research focuses on defining the pathogenic mechanisms of
gastrointestinal pathogens and the survival of these microbes in the
environment. Prior to joining Ashland University, Dr.
Jandu was part of the Curriculum Fellows Program at Harvard Medical
School, where she participated in both research and teaching activities.
Dr. Jandu received her PhD from the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto in 2008. She
earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with Honors from
Wilfrid Laurier University (2002) and a Master of Science degree from
the Faculty of Medical Science at McMaster University (2004).
Dr. Kristin Simokat is joining the Department of Biology and Toxicology as a Visiting Assistant Professor. She will be teaching courses in human anatomy & physiology. She
received her BA in Biology from Wesleyan University and her PhD in
Cellular & Molecular Biology with a concentration in Developmental
Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr.
Simokat comes most recently from the Palouse region (University of Idaho
and Washington State University) where she taught developmental
biology, mammalian physiology, human anatomy & physiology, genetics,
cell biology, and introductory biology. Her current
research interests include the integration of writing-to-learn
strategies and technology to promote learning and understanding of
science.
Dr. John Meyers is joining the Department of Chemistry, Geology, and Physics as a Visiting Assistant Professor. He
received a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of
Delaware in 2008 and a Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry from the University
of Kansas in 2013. His doctoral dissertation focused on
isocyanoarenes in organometallic crystal engineering and new
azulene-based organometallics. Specifically, this work
involved the design, synthesis, and exploration of complexes relevant to
molecular and optoelectronic applications. Dr. Meyers will be teaching core courses including General Chemistry and Chemical Perspectives on Life.
