Mary Ann Wagner-Graham, PhD

Assistant Professor of Biology

Research and Clinical Interests

Dr. Wagner-Graham’s graduate work with Dr. Marilyn Jorns at Hahnemann University focused on kinetic and structural studies of monomeric sarcosine oxidase.  At the Institute of Molecular Biology and Medicine at The University of Scranton, Dr. Wagner-Graham worked on a range of projects, from development of PCR primers for rapid detection of antibiotic and toxin genes in potential biological warfare agents, to global and comparative proteomic studies of the Brucellae, Bacillus anthracis, and Haloferax volcanii.   Dr. Wagner-Graham values providing real-world research experiences to undergraduate students, and currently involves students in her efforts to unravel the molecular effects of sucralose.  This endeavor provides multiple opportunities for student projects, from bacteriology to biochemistry.  In addition to her research work, Dr. Wagner-Graham teaches Anatomy and Physiology and Biochemistry.
