Director, Human Odyssey Program, Auburn University, 1995 Bioethics, Biotechnology, Developmental Biology, Genethics My research into the ethical use of biotecnology has relevance for development of human genetic engineering applications, clinical applications of human embryonic stem cell technology, human cloning technology, and assisted reproduction technologies. Promoting the public understanding of biotechnologies including human cloning, embryonic stem cell research and use, human cell genetic engineering, transgenic organisms, neuropharmacology, and extension of human life. Aiding the public understanding of the ethical issues raised by 21st century biotechnologies.

I am writing books on biotechnology and bioethics appropriate for lay public and for undergraduate capstone course.
