The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $3 million grant to a team of Wake Forest researchers led by Dr. Gloria Muday. The research team also included Dr. James B. Pease, Assistant Professor of Biology, and a previous undergraduate student of Muday’s at Wake Forest: Dr. Mark A. Johnson (’93). This grant will help…
MUDAY NAMED CHARLES M. ALLEN PROFESSOR OF BIOLOGY Dr. Gloria Muday has been awarded the title of Charles M. Allen Professor of Biology effective July 1, 2019. This endowed professorship honors the life of Medallion of Merit award winner and Emeritus Professor of Biology Charles M. Allen (’39, MA ’41). Muday is a Professor in…
The National Science Foundation awarded $900,000 to an interdisciplinary group led by Dr. Gloria Muday examining how hormones affect growth and development of the roots of Arabidopsis thaliana, which is a genetic model used to provide insight into other plants. This collaborative grant brings together researchers in biology, computer science and mathematics who began working together…
Professor Gloria Muday, and students Bethany Pan, and Par Ranjbar recently won a national contest sponsored by the American Society of Plant Biologists to develop teaching tools that can be used in K-12 and college level biology which teaches about the effects of climate change, drought, and water deficit on plants. Their teaching tool is…
The WFU News Service recently published an article featuring the work of Dr. Gloria Muday and Beckman Award winner Kathleen DiNapoli. This article sheds light on their research into the genetics and physiology of heirloom tomatoes to locate ancestral genes that offer growth advantages. Pull quote: “The world population continues to grow despite our finite sources of agricultural…
The Winston Salem Journal recognized Department of Biology outreach efforts directed by Gloria Muday and Carole Browne engaging WFU undergraduates to become teachers of science classes in the local schools. WFU students Kathleen Quigley (PhD. candidate) and Ashlyn Whitlock (senior) were also interviewed. Click the link to read the article at the Winston Salem Journal…
Peter Chawaga of the Wake Forest News Service recently published an article about the outreach efforts of Drs. Gloria Muday and Carole Browne. These professors along with the support of graduate and undergraduate students execute an outreach program to the public schools. The focus of this program is to teach genetics using heirloom tomatoes as…
Congratulations to Gloria K. Muday, professor of biology, whose proposal entitled “Arabidopsis 2010 Project Collaborative Research: Modeling Biological Networks in Arabidopsis through Integration of Genomic, Proteomic, and Metabolomic Data” has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Wake Forest University’s Campus Garden overflows with tomatoes. But, with names like Never Ripe and Green Ripe, many will never be the rich, red orbs you’d slice up for sandwiches. These tomatoes – mutant varieties bred for research – will help Gloria K. Muday, Ph.D., a professor of biology, determine how the hormone ethylene can…
