Dr. Greg Podgorski earned his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Penn State University and worked as a postdoctoral scholar at Columbia University and the Max Plank Institute for Biochemistry.

Biology education, developmental genetics, and computational biology are among his research interests. Greg’s most recent research has focused on mathematical models of how cell patterns form during development and how cancer tumours recruit new blood vessels.

Greg has taught introductory biology for majors and nonmajors, genetics, cell biology, developmental biology, and microbiology at Utah State University for more than 20 years, and he has also taught nonmajors biology in Beijing and Hong Kong. He has received teaching accolades at Utah State University and has been named a Teaching Fellow and a Teaching Mentor by the National Academies.
