William S.Klug recently retired as Professor of Biology at The CoUege of New Jersey (formerly Trenton State College) in Ewing, New Jersey. He served as Chair ofthe Biology Department for 17 years, a position to which he was first elected in 1974. He received his B.A. degree in Biology from Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and his Ph.D.from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Prior to conung to The College of New Jersey, he was on the faculty of Wabash College as an Assistant Professor. His research interests have involved ultrastructural and molecular genetic studies of oogenesis in Drosophila. He taught the genetics course as well as the senior capstone seminar course in human and molecular genetics to undergraduate biology majors for 38 years. In 2002, he was the reapient of the initial teaclung award given at the College of New Jersey granted to the faculty member who most challenges students to achieve high standards. He also received the 2004 Outstanding Professor Award from the Sigma Pilnternational, and in the same year,he was nominated as the Educator ofthe Year, an award given by the Research and Development Council of New Jersey.
Michael R.Cummings is Research Professor in the Department of Biological, Chemical, and Physical Saences at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois. For more than 25 years, he was a faculty member in the Department of Biological Saences and in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University oflllinois at Chicago. He has also served on the faculties of Northwestern University and Florida State University. He received his B.A. from St Mary's College in Winona, Minnesota, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Northwestem University in Evanston, Illinois. In addition to this text and its companion volumes, he has also written textbooks in human genetics and general biology for nonmajors. His research interests center on the molecular organization and physical mapping of the hetero-chromatic regions of human acrocentric chromosomes. At the undergraduate level, he teaches courses in Mendelian and molecular genetics, human genetics, and general biology, and has received numerous awards for teaching excellence given by university faculty, student organizations, and graduating seniors.
Charlotte A.Spencer is a retired Assoaate Professor from the Department of Oncology at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She has also served as a faculty member in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Alberta. She received her B.Sc. in Microbiology from the University of British Columbia and her Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Alberta, followed by postdoctoral training at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Waslungton. Her research interests involve the regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription in cancer cells,cells infected with DNA viruses, and cells traversing the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. She has taught courses in biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and oncology, at both undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, she has written booklets in the Prentice Hall Exploring Biology series,which are aimed at the undergraduate nonmajor level.
Michael A.Palladino is Dean ofthe School of Science and Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey. He received his B.S. degree in Biology from Trenton State College(now known as The College of New Jersey) and his Ph.D. in Anatomy and Cell Biology from the University of Virginia.He directs an active laboratory of undergraduate student researchers studying molecular mechanisms involved in innate immunity of mammalian male reproductive organs and genes involved in oxygen homeostasis and ischemic injury of the testis. He has taught a wide range of courses for both majors and nonmajors and currently teaches genetics, biotechnology,endocrinology, and laboratory in ceU and molecular biology.He has received several awards for research and teaching,including the New Investigator Award of the American Society of Andrology, the 2005 Distinguished Teacher Award from Monmouth University, and the 2005 Caring Heart Award from the New Jersey Assoaation for Biomedical Research. He is coauthor of the undergraduate textbook Introduction to Biotechnology, Series Editor for the Benjamin Cummings Special ToPics in Biology booklet series, and author of the first booklet in the series, Understanding the Human Genome Project.
