Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences
Gregg Jongeward, graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS in Genetics and Cell Biology from the University of Minnesota. He holds a PhD in Developmental Genetics from the California Institute of Technology and has completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco in the area of cancer research, funded by the American Cancer Society.
He has been at Pacific since 1996. Before his appointment as Senior Associate Dean, he served as Co-Chair of the Biological Sciences department. He and his lab at COP develop DNA fingerprinting tools for studies of evolutionary biology and ecology.
Prior to joining Pacific, Dr. Jongeward did extensive research in the area of cancer and developmental biology, looking at how newly formed cells communicate with their neighbors to determine their fates and functions. The genes that control these decisions are the very same genes that, when mutated, push a cell towards forming a tumor. He has been published in Science, Molecular Cell Biology, Development, Genes and Development, Genetics, and Nucleic Acids Research. He has also presented at international, national, and regional meetings.
