Welcome
to the Department of Biochemistry in the West Virginia
University School of Medicine. I am very happy to be the
new Chair. This is an exciting time in the Department as
we embark on a period of growth. We are recruiting for a
number of new faculty positions and are interested in
candidates with expertise in biochemistry and research
interests in a number of broad areas including cancer
biology, cardiovascular biology and neuroscience. These
represent areas of interest of the current faculty in
the department and areas of strength in the three major
research centers supported by the Health Sciences Center
at WVU. Recruitment of these faculty members will
further re-invigorate the research programs within the
Department and provide new opportunities for
post-doctoral and graduate student training.

John
Michael (Mike) Ruppert very recently joined the
Biochemistry Department and Cancer Center as Professor
of Biochemistry and Jo and Ben Statler Eminent Scholar &
Chair in Breast Cancer Research. Mike actually began his
research career in this Department - while pursuing his
BA in Chemistry at WVU, he worked with John Durham on a
project involving differentiation of HL60 cells.
Mike
received many accolades as an undergraduate and
graduated Summa Cum Laude from WVU in 1983, then
obtained his PhD and MD degrees from Johns Hopkins in
1990, where he worked with Bert Vogelstein. During his
postdoc, Mike worked with Bruce Stillman at Cold Spring
Harbor Laboratory.
