  • Biological Sciences
    Biological Sciences | 3 Gregory Hecht Associate Professor Biological Sciences [email protected] Education: BS (Molecular Genetics), University of Rochester MA (Molecular Biology), Princeton University PhD (Molecular Biology), Princeton University Research Expertise: Microbial genetics | Applied microbiology | Biology education My laboratory research interests focus on the use of both modern and “classical” genetic methods to address questions in applied microbiology. The primary project is the development and analysis of bacterial strains with the ability to immobilize soluble lead. We are using the freshwater oligotroph Caulobacter crescentus as a model organism to identify the genes and cellular components that are responsible for the biosorption of lead via a biologically mediated precipitation. We are using so-called classical genetic techniques coupled with whole genome sequence analysis. Our work has demonstrated that cysteine metabolism and enzymatic phosphatase activity are two of the key players in the biosorption of lead. We also conduct biofuels research. To make biofuel fermentations economical, the biocatalyst must have significant tolerance to the biofuel product. We have isolated ethanol-tolerant mutants of Escherichia coli FBR5 and carried out physiological and genomic analyses of these strains, demonstrating that the iron import gene fecA is important in determining the ethanol tolerance of the organism. Other previous applied microbiology projects in my laboratory have included industrial partnerships to study the enhancement of microbial activity in commercial grease traps and an analysis of microbial contamination of rice flour. Recent Academic Projects: My other area of interest is in the retention and education outcomes of students in the biology curriculum. I am currently involved in the Cumberland College Bridges to Rowan University, which focuses on improving the degree completion success rate of minority and disadvantaged students from Cumberland County College who transfer to Rowan University.

    ENGINEERING Dual-Degree Program stockton.edu/nams Engineering | Dual Degree Program ABOUT THE PROGRAM Building Bridges to Success Designed for motivated students who are well prepared through high school courses in mathematics and science, the five year Dual-degree Engineering Program is administered in joint effort with New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Rowan University and Rutgers University. It is an academically demanding and competitive program. Students generally attend three years at Stockton and conclude their studies with two years at NJIT, Rowan or Rutgers. Students earn a Bachelor of Science degree from Stockton – in either applied physics, chemistry or mathematics – at the end of the fourth year of the program. Upon completion of the program, they are awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from NJIT, Rowan or Rutgers or a Master of Science degree in Pharmaceutical Engineering from NJIT. Two Degrees – Many Possibilities • Stockton: Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics. • NJIT: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering or a Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Engineering. • Rowan: Bachelor of Science in Biomedical, Chemical, Civil and Environmental, Electrical and Computer, or Mechanical Engineering. • Rutgers: Bioenvironmental, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer, or Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Marketability Because of the increased competition in the job marketplace, many of today’s college students are choosing to broaden their educational foundations by pursuing multifaceted career objectives such as minors along with majors, double majors or dual undergraduate degrees. This program provides you with two very marketable college degrees. ENGINEERING Dual-Degree Progam BLUEPRINT FOR EXCELLENCE This unique opportunity in engineering education offers the best of both worlds.
