Greetings Alumni and Friends of MCB!
Welcome to the 6th edition of the MCB alumni news! The Ohio University MCB Alumni Group on LinkedIn
(www.linkedin.com) has now grown to 29 members. If you haven’t joined yet, please consider doing so. I personally
think this is a great way to stay connected to your friends at OU and provides you with a professional platform where
you can promote your academic and research accomplishments. Our goal is to have most all MCB alumni connected
via LinkedIn – be sure to join the Ohio University MCB Alumni Group once you have set up your profile. News about
MCB alumni can be found on page 19.
The MCB graduate program added two new faculty members from the Biological Sciences Department – Shawn Kuchta
who is interested in the many factors that influence species formation and biodiversity and Thierry Charlier who studies
steroid hormone effects on the brain. More detailed descriptions of their research interests are found on page 9. Ken
Brown has retired from the University and MCB duties, but now has Professor Emeritus status in the Department Of
Chemistry and Biochemistry. We wish him well.
Our research scholars program with Capital Normal University continues this year with 3 more excellent undergraduate
students spending time here at OU, gaining valuable research experience. Don’t miss the write up on the 1st annual
Appalachian Regional Cell Conference held in Huntington, WV, in October (see page 16). MCB graduate students took
a leading role in organizing the conference making it an unqualified success. In fact, they did such a good job, that OU
was selected for the site of the meeting next year. We congratulate our MCB graduate students on this significant ac-
complishment, especially Yanrong Qian, who led the group of MCB organizers.
Well, there are lots more exciting news stories and noteworthy accomplishments listed in this issue, so browse the

Wishing you and your family Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!

revenue
Ohio University ranks first among Ohio institutions of higher education for re-search licensing revenue, with faculty inventions gen-erating $8.6 million during fiscal year 2011.
Most of the revenue stems from an OU license to the Pfizer corporation for a growth hormone receptor antagonist discovered by EBI scientist John Kopchick and former graduate student Wen Chen in 1987. The technology has been devel-oped into a drug marketed by the pharmaceutical com-pany SOMAVERT
“The success of our licens-ing agreements allows Ohio University to support the development of additional technologies that can bene-fit public health and well-ness and create new com-panies and jobs for the state of Ohio,” said Joseph Shields, VP for research and Creative activity and dean of the Graduate Col-lege.

Stuart Inglis, 2007 Following graduation in March, 2007, I decided to make teaching
my primary focus. For the next 4 years, I settled back in my native land, Canada, teaching
math and science at a prestigious private school. Eager to return to academia, I spent the past
year teaching introductory biology, microbiology, and gross human anatomy at three separate
post-secondary institutions in the Greater Toronto Area.
A few short months ago the opportunity I’ve long waited for presented itself, and I accepted a
position with the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota. I am now an
assistant professor with the department of basic biomedical sciences. My principle responsibil-
ity is teaching gross anatomy to upper level undergraduates, medical students, and the allied
health professions (OT, PT, and PA students). In addition, I have been appointed to the posi-
tions of director of Human Anatomy Laboratories at the university and director of the Body Do-
nation Program for the medical school. I’ve also accepted my first graduate student, who is
pursuing a master’s degree in clinical anatomy.
My wife and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary earlier this year. My oldest son, Caelan,
recently celebrated his 4th birthday, and my youngest son, Nolan, will be turning 2 in Novem-
ber.
Betsy Briju, 2011 Betsy began her career in teaching in Fall 2011, as a Visiting
Assistant Professor of Botany and General Biology at Ohio University in the department of
Environmental and Plant Biology. She finished her doctorate in Plant Molecular Biology with
MCB 2011. While teaching general biology and botany for non-major undergraduates, she
likes to incorporate technology in the classroom that will speak to the current generation of
digital natives. Her research interests include gene expression analysis using Bimolecular
Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) and education-related research. She enjoys outreach
activities with K-12 students and has worked with Planting Science (online mentoring program
of the American Society of Plant Biologists). Women in Science and Engineering and the Kids-
on-Campus program at OU. In her free time, she likes to play with her two-year old son and
also go hiking with her family and friends.
Wenxian Sun, 2003 Professor, Plant Pathology at China Agricultural University.
This past summer Bob Colvin had the opportunity to visit with alum and MCB Alumni Board
member Wenxian Sun while a visiting professor teaching in Beijing, China.
