PhD, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland; Biochemistry – 1978

I am interested in the education of students of medicine and pharmacy. I am particularly eager to use results of research into learning to help struggling students succeed.

I wrote the textbook Netter’s Essential Biochemistry, (2017 Elsevier). The book covers the molecular biology and metabolism that students of medicine or pharmacy need to pass their licensing exams.

Since 1995, I have directed a ‘biochemistry’ course for medical students. Since 2003, this course included molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, metabolism, and a bit of cell physiology. I am currently the Biochemistry Thread Director for the new JeffMD curriculum that relies heavily on case-based learning and is to be rolled out in August of 2017.

Since 2008, I have directed a biochemistry course for pharmacy students. The content of this course is shaped largely by the ACPE Standards 2016 for biochemistry and by the needs of first-year pharmacy students. I teach most of the sessions in this course.
