| Faculty | Chosed, Renee, Ph.D. | Associate Professor | 864-455-9833 | chosed@greenvillemed.sc.edu | One of the most fulfilling aspects of my career is that I have an opportunity to inspire the next generation of scientists and physicians. As a teacher, it’s my responsibility to encourage these students to ask questions, pursue answers and generate solutions. To achieve these teaching goals I strive to teach courses that challenge my students to think beyond the material covered in textbooks and develop assignments requiring students to critically analyze the material covered in class and apply it to situations unfamiliar to them. Through my teaching, I hope to instill a passion in my student through my own enthusiasm and fascination for science and medicine. I teach and co-direct the Molecular and Cellular Foundations Module as well as additional biochemistry lectures throughout the M1 and M2 years.My research program is focused on the molecular mechanisms that regulate development in preimplantation stage embryos. This research aims to enhance the uterine implantation success rate of euploid embryos of infertile couples undergoing IVF. I am also the Director of Medical Student Research at UofSC SOMG. |

| Faculty | Grier, Jennifer, Ph.D. | Associate Professor | 864-455-9847 | jgrier@greenvillemed.sc.edu | Immunology, Host-Pathogen interactionsInvestigation of host factors that contribute to antiviral immunity is important for understanding the innate response to infection and identifying protective pathways following viral infection. This is particularly important when studying viruses for which there are no vaccines available, such as Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), a human pathogen which infects nearly every child before the age of 2, and in some cases, can result in lifelong complications. I primarily study the innate immune response in the context of (-)ssRNA respiratory viruses which include RSV and Sendai Virus (SeV), a virulent mouse pathogen in the same family of viruses as RSV. Following infection with RSV or SeV, hundreds of Interferon Stimulated Genes (ISGs) are up-regulated, yet the functional significance of many of them remains unclear. An in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of these early responding ISGs could be used to prevent disease complications or establishment of chronic symptoms. Through targeted mutation and cellular characterization of ISGs, we hope to identify proteins and pathways that are protective for the host following viral infection to serve as targets for new therapeutic approaches. https://www.grierlab.org/ |

| Faculty | Williams, Shanna, Ph. D. | Associate Professor | 864-455-9845 | will3992@greenvillemed.sc.edu | My research interests are orientated around skeletal biology, the forensic sciences, anatomical aspects of clinical diagnosis, and the clinical application of stem cells. These investigations have explored age-related changes in human craniofacial morphology, the geometric morphometric usage of cranial landmarks, and healing cells within organs. Currently, my research focuses on the anatomical basis of lesions and pain patterns encountered in the practice of obstetrics and gynecology. Secondarily, I am interested in the assessment and curricular design of the anatomical sciences in medical education. | Biomedical Sciences | Biomedical Sciences | |
| Faculty | Wright, William, Ph.D. | Associate Professor | 864-766-2095 | wrigh288@greenvillemed.sc.edu | I have always had a desire and passion for teaching. I consider it a privilege to be one piece of the puzzle in the education of future physicians and scholars. My current areas of teaching are cellular, cardiovascular, and respiratory physiology. My primary research interest is to determine mechanisms of dysfunction that occur early in the diabetic retina which lead to the development of diabetic retinopathy. Inflammation, vascular dysfunction, and reactive oxygen species are potential mechanisms that lead to the upregulation of new blood vessels that develop on the surface of the retina leading to blindness for many who are affected. Specifically, I am interested in inflammatory mediators that modify vascular endothelial cell function and results in altered blood flow to the retina. New areas of research for me are assessment practices and curricular design in medical education. |
