available worlwide online via http://nanohub.org/resources/11877
B. Currently serving/served on 40 MS or PhD Thesis Committees (17 currently active) for graduate students in 9 departments or interdisciplinary programs (Biomedical Engineering (BME), Basic Medical Sciences (BMS), Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences (IBSC), Biology (BIO), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECN), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Agriculural and Biological Engineering (ABE), and Physics)
C. Have served as mentor to 9 PhD s ( 5 graduated) and 1 MS ( 1 graduated) students at Purdue since 2005. Currently serving as PhD mentor to 3 students.
D. Serving as Chair of the Graduate program in the Department of Bassic Medical Sciences since 2010.

2. UTMB (November, 1994 - June, 2005):
A. PTH6311 - Molecular Cytometry - 3 credit, graduate-level course (lecture + recitation)
B. Cell and Molecular Biology core graduate level course – 4 lectures annually (2001- 2004)
on molecular biology of the cell cycle; Guest lectures in Advanced Immunology; Fundamentals in Pathology;
Molecular Biology Techniques;
C. Served on 3 PhD thesis committees
3. University of Rochester (June, 1978 - October, 1994):
A. PTH 511: Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting – 3 credit, graduate level course (lecture, recitation, lab) 1981-1993
B. Served as PhD mentor to 1 student.
Overview of Graduate Course Teaching:
Pathology 511: For 10 years (1983-1993) I gave 12-14 lectures each Fall, and taught recitations/labs weekly for a wide variety of students throughout the University of Rochester.
GSBS Program Cell Biology Course (UTMB): 6 Lectures on Molecular Biology of the Cell Cycle – 2002 and 5 lectures in 2003
Microbiology 6425: Molecular Biology Techniques (UTMB) I taught a one-week lab in single-cell PCR techniques. This course was offered every other year.
Microbiology 6408: Advanced Immunology (UTMB) My yearly 1-hour lecture is on “Flow Cytometry for Immunology”
PTH6503 Fundamentals of Pathology (UTMB): My primary role in 1998 and 1999 was to supervise all student research grants for the course. This work took about 20-25 hours of my time each year.
PTH6311: Molecular Cytometry (3 credit graduate course) (Role: Course Director and Sole Lecturer)
The following represents the outline of a new course at UTMB that I first offered in Spring, 1996 and then again in Fall, 1997 and Fall, 1998. The 14-lecture part of the course was attended by 35 - 50 people each week, and this year was up on the internet. I had to give up teaching this course when I assumed administrative positions of Director for Institutional Research Development and subsequently Assistant VP for Advanced Technology from 1999 – 2003.
BME626 Engineering Nanomedical Systems (Purdue): This comprehensive 19-lecture course covers the general design of multilayered, multifunctional nanomedical systems. It is an advanced 3-credit graduate-level course. It is also currently on-line and has been viewed by more than 12,000 users world-wide on Purdue University's NanoHUB (http://www.nanohub.org)
B. Medical School Teaching at UTMB and University of Rochester medical Schools
For a number of years at the University of Rochester (UR), I presented an annual Molecular Cytometry lecture to medical students to teach them quantitative methods in cell biology, immunology, and molecular biology, and how these research tools could be applied to biomedical research.
