Emeritus Professor of Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Function of GABAergic synaptic transmission in health and disease, with emphasis of stress based psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorders and mechanisms of antidepressant drug action
Jonathan Lynch
Distinguished Professor of Plant Nutrition
Plant adaptation to nutrient and water stress. Global change. World hunger. Root biology.
Hong Ma
Huck Chair in Plant Reproductive Development and Evolution; Professor of Biology
Plant development under favorable and stressful conditions; phylogeny and evolutionary biology of plant groups containing major crops and ecologically important species.
Jennifer Macalady
Director of the Ecology Institute; Professor of Geosciences
Microbial interactions with earth materials: soils, sediments, solutes, atmospheric gases, minerals, and rocks. Early evolution of Earth’s biosphere, including photosynthesis and sulfur cycling. Microbial ecology, environmental omics, microbial biogeography.
Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics
Erina MacGeorge
Professor of Communication Arts and Science
Antibiotic stewardship, doctor-patient communication
Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics
Erika Machtinger
Associate Professor of Entomology
Veterinary entomology, including vector-borne diseases. Focus is on ecology and behavior associated with host-parasite interactions to improve or develop new control methods.

Xavier Mack
Research Technologist/Lab Manager
Investigating if microbial communities recovered from mature tomato plants can act as biocontrols to suppress P. Syringae that causes bacterial speck and if taxonomic diversity of those communities plays a role in disease suppression
Kamesh Madduri
Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering
Computational biology, algorithms, and high-performance computing.
Carolyn Mahan
Professor of Biology (Altoona)
The study of biodiversity in threatened ecosystems, the effects of human-modified landscapes on wildlife, and behavioral ecology of sciurids. Dr. Mahan teaches introductory biology, environmental studies, field ecology, and evolution.
Shaun Mahony
