Gregory M. Grabowski Associate Professor Associate Professor and Chair of Biology, has his primary interest in physiology although he has taught a wide variety of courses since joining the University in 1996. Dr. Grabowski came to the University after completion of his postdoctoral training at the Harvard School of Public Health, where he began his research on pulmonary inflammation induced by metal- containing particles in industrial settings. He was awarded National Institute of Health and Center for Indoor Air fellowships to fund his postdoctoral training, as well as Slocum-Lunz fellowships to fund his graduate studies. Dr. Grabowski holds a B.A. degree from Canisius College, a M.S. from the University of Charleston, and a Ph.D. from the Medical University of South Carolina. Phone: 313-993-1183 | Fax:313-993-1139 |

Stokes S. Baker Associate Professor Associate Professor of Biology, teaches courses in botany, ecology, environmental science, evolution and biological statistics. His interdisciplinary research is focused on using biotechnology to address environmental concerns. Currently, he is developing phytoremediation strategies to remove heavy metals from contaminated soils. He also performs studies on the environmental risks in using genetically engineered crops. He has published articles in scientific journals on gene regulation, gene expression, and plant development. Dr. Baker's degrees include a B.S. from Davis and Elkins College, a M.S. from SUNY's College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and the Ph.D. from Ohio State University.
