  1964 - 1965

  Working on phd program in virology virology 4.00/4.00

  Activities and Societies: None, I was there on a research fellowship in the medical school doing research with Dr. Murphy on viruses that infect children causing the onset of leukemia. Had to flip burgers at night to pay the $2500/semester charge they put on out of state students. Left after second semester because I was unable to support myself financially. No other school in the Big Ten imposed additional out of state fees on grad students. Transferred to U of Maine as in state student.

  1965 - 1967

  Master's degree biochemistry, cellular biology 4.00/4.00

  Activities and Societies: Joined several societies revolving around the life sciences and research foundations. Was awarded the Fred Griffith Scholarship for the most innovative and well thought out research project in the College of Life Sciences. Conducted research, in coordination with Jackson Memorial Labs Bar Harbor, ME, on tissue culture of mouse L cells to determine if those cells could produce their own essential fatty acids. Attended the U of Michigan in 1964 - 1965, and was involved in research that measured the response of the immune system to viruses that were thought to cause childhood leukemia. We were trying various adjuvants to enhance a greater immune response to those viruses known to initiate leukemia.

We were trying various adjuvants to enhance a greater immune response to those viruses known to initiate leukemia. Those viruses were seen as "self" by the immune system , so they needed to be enhanced to illicit an immune response. Show less

  Bachelor of science (bs) with honors bacteriology, virology, chemistry 3.24/4.00

  Activities and Societies: Tau Kappa Epsilon, Phi Kappa Phi, Sigma Nu, U of Maine Band, ROTC Judo Team, Freshman Football Team, University Student Council representing TKE. Other professional organizations as both undergrad and graduate student at the U of Maine. My senior research was focused on the use of bacteriophage to lyse E.coli bacteria commonly found in the gut of most mammals. The broader application in municipal waste treatment systems were considered. A scale up to pilot plant size was proposed to the waste treatment plant at the University. A large treatment tank was given to determine what conditions (temperature, dilutions, and pH) would support rapid destruction (lysis) of E. coli.
