John N. Evans, Ph.D. Professor of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics

Background and Personal B.A. - 1970 (Biology) Clark University, Worcester, MA Ph.D. - 1976 (Physiology) Univ. Florida, Gainesville, FL Postdoc. - 1977 (Physiology) Univ. Vermont, Burlington, VT UVM Faculty since 1977 Research Dr. John Evans's interests focus on the remodelling processes in the lung with emphasis on control of airway and vascular wall structure. In vivo and in vitro models of lung injury are evaluated in terms of cell growth, phenotypic expression and protein synthesis. The underlying mechanisms which lead to tissue reorganization in asthma and pulmonary hypertension are the primary areas of interest.
