Adjunct Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
Dr. Marc E. Gillespie received his doctorate in Oncological Sciences from the University of Utah in 1998 and is now is a Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at St. John’s University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. As Chair of the College Assessment Committee, he has been working and conducting research in assessment including the development of statistical approaches to assessment data analysis, accreditation, program development, and institutional core curriculum assessment. He leads and develops the College assessment program and regularly attending national accreditation and assessment meetings. As Chair of the Institutional Biosafety Committee, he provides institutional oversight of recombinant DNA research. Dr. Gillespie leads a research group focused on bioinformatics and biomarker discovery. Current projects range from the identification of chronic low-level lead exposure and manganese toxicity biomarkers to the mechanics of inflammatory inhibitor release. He teaches Pharmacogenomics, Public Health, Human Anatomy & Physiology and has experience from academia and industry to public health policy. He is currently an Editor/Curator for the Reactome Project, a pathway database of cellular level processes from "simple" events (biochemical reactions), to "complex" biological process (cell cycle). This project is a multinational effort to integrate the overwhelming proliferation of genomic data into a human readable and computationally tractable database. Dr. Gillespie has been learning, conducting, developing tools for and teaching science for more than twenty years and is active at all levels of science curriculum development.
