RESEARCH SUMMARY: 

Although formally trained in immunology and cancer biology, Dr. Foreman’s interests have shifted toward education and the  need to introduce future physicians in the excitement of foundational and clinical research.  She currently serves as the Course Director for the first-year medical school course Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics and plays a key role in directing two NIH T35 training grants that support medical student research experiences.

EDUCATION:

  • BS in Microbiology, Miami University
  • PhD in Pathology and Immunology, University of Cincinnati
