On Friday, the Biology Seminar Series presented guest speaker Dr. Anton Bennett. Dr. Bennett began his collegiate education at Liverpool John Moores University in Liverpool, England. He graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry before continuing on to receive a Doctorate in Philosophy with work on experimental pathology from the New York Medical College.
After spending five years doing post-doc fellowships at the Harvard Medical School and the Cold Spring Harbor Lab in New York, Dr. Bennett settled into a job as a professor at the Yale University School of Medicine in 1998. Beyond being a professor of both pharmacology and of comparative medicine, Dr. Bennett is involved in many research programs as well as minority outreach programs for faculty and students at the university. He is currently the director of minority affairs for the school's Biological and Biomedical Sciences program. He also works with an organization called MORE which stands for “Minority Organization for Retention & Expansion”. This group works to recruit minority faculty members while also working alongside these faculty members in order to increase their comfort and success while boosting retention rates. Research wise, Dr. Bennett has a current focus on “Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases in growth and Development” and in the past has many published works revolving around similar biological topics. When visiting the college, he led a seminar on “Emerging therapeutic approaches to human disease by targeting protein tyrosine phosphatase signaling pathways”.
