Lisa D. Brown, Director, Office of Undergraduate Research and Associate Professor, Department of Biology, Morgan State University, Baltimore MD.
Dr. Brown received her B.S. in Microbiology from the University of Rhode Island and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Physiology from the University of Connecticut. Early research interests focused on how neural activity affected muscle plasticity. She shifted from benchwork to focus on strategies that promote undergraduate research training and the development of critical thinking skills in STEM-related disciplines. Dr. Brown developed a series of Honors Interdisciplinary courses that focus on the development of critical thinking skills through writing exercises, analysis of scientific literature and the development of either a research-based or literature-based thesis. Currently, Dr. Brown serves as the Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research and Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Morgan State University. In her role as Associate Professor of Biology, Dr. Brown has several grant-funded programs that focus on retention and graduation of students in STEM majors. As the Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research, Dr. Brown works to cultivate student success through innovative approaches to enhance undergraduate research participation across all disciplines at Morgan State University.
