Edward 'Ted' Schmid

Edward 'Ted' Schmid serves as an Assistant Professor in the Molecular Biosciences program within the Beck College of Sciences & Mathematics at Arkansas State University.

His educational credentials include:

• Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Biology and French from Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana (2008)
• Master of Science (M.S.) in Immunobiology from Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut (2010)
• Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Immunobiology from Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut (2016)

Dr. Schmid's research investigates fundamental biological mechanisms across three interconnected domains: aging (cellular and molecular processes of age-related decline), actin dynamics (cytoskeletal regulation in cell physiology and disease), and inflammation (immune responses in pathological contexts). His work integrates immunobiology with molecular biosciences to explore therapeutic targets for age-associated disorders and inflammatory conditions, emphasizing translational implications for human health.

He teaches core courses in Virology and Pathophysiology, maintaining an active laboratory at the Arkansas Biosciences Institute where his team examines molecular pathways linking cytoskeletal dynamics to immune aging.
