Jill Pflugheber

Courses Offered:

Biol 252 Research Methods in Cell Biology (team taught with Mike Temkin) (1.25U)

Biol 391 Scanning Electron Microscopy (0.5U)

Biol 392 Research Methods in Fluorescence and Confocal Microscopy (1.25U)

Research Interests:

I love virology, but don’t currently do virology research.  My current project involves using the confocal microscope to image plants that are sacred to indigenous cultures.
