Biography
Dr. Mike Dohm has been at Chaminade since 2005. He teaches Genetics, Epigenetics/Genomics, Biostatistics and Systems Biology. Dr. Dohm’s research interests are on gene expression of lung epithelial cells in response to environmental stress in order to better understand how stressors like air pollution can trigger pathological processes. Dr. Dohm’s research in the Laboratory of Ecological Genomics is also concerned with integrating evolutionary genetics and ecotoxicology and provides undergraduate experiences from funding such as the NIH INBRE grant.
