Dr. James Shapiro is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago. He is a bacterial geneticist whose research covers what he calls “natural genetic engineering”, in which organisms may actively restructure their genomes in response to environmental stresses, particularly through the action of mobile genetic elements. He also studies pattern formation during colony growth and, from the beginning, he has appreciated the artistic quality of colonies and the important scientific message that they contain about multicellular regulation.

To all December 2009 through December 2011 graduates: Here is a survey we'd like you to fill out so we can evaluate the ODU Medical Technology Program. One sheet is for you to fill out as alumni. The second one is for your employer to fill out. You can return it by fax or email to 757-683-5028 or [email protected]. We appreciate your participation.

This is the employer copy. You can copy this picture and paste it on Word and it will be full sized. Thank you!
