Message from the Chair

Julia V. Busik, PhD, FARVO, 
Professor and Chair of Biochemistry and Physiology

It’s been another great month for the Department of Biochemistry and Physiology. We continue to thrive in research, education, and service mission, thanks to the dedication and hard work of our faculty, trainees, and staff– see “good news” below. This semester, we celebrate successful tenure (Dr. Proshlyakov) and promotion and tenure (Dr. Sathyaseelan)decisions of our faculty members – well deserved Deepa and Denis! We welcome Dr. Matt Potthoff as a new faculty member who brings fresh expertise and enthusiasm to our research community. As we move forward, I particularly encourage everyone to engage in Biochemistry and Physiology student seminars, as well as Johnson & Sokatch, HHDC, and Departmental guest speaker lectures.
