Michael J. Bumbulis, Ph.D.

Dr. Bumbulis received his B.S. from The Ohio State University.   After working as a respiratory therapist for a few years at Columbus Children's Hospital, he returned to OSU to earn an M.S. in Zoology, where he biochemically characterized an enzyme found in tape worms.  He then began to work on a Ph. D. in Genetics at Case Western Reserve University.   During this time, Dr. Bumbulis secured a part-time position at Baldwin-Wallace College teaching genetics.   In 1996, he received his Ph.D. from CWRU and began teaching full-time at Baldwin-Wallace.    He currently  teaches courses in genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, anatomy & physiology, and human biology.  He is also interested in researching the interaction between transcription factors and DNA.
