Ben Moyer

Ben Moyer serves as a Lecturer at NHTI, Concord's Community College, where he has been the Primary Instructor for General Biology 2 (BIOL 112C-1) in the SEA-PHAGES program since Spring 2023 through Spring 2025. Teaching 13-15 undergraduate students per semester (primarily sophomores), he leads hands-on phage discovery research using Arthrobacter globiformis as the host bacterium, with courses meeting twice weekly for 5 hours of integrated laboratory and lecture instruction.

His academic work centers on Phage Biology, Microbiology, and genomic analysis within the HHMI-funded SEA-PHAGES initiative. This program provides students with authentic research experiences spanning bacteriophage isolation from environmental samples to genomic sequencing and evolutionary studies, emphasizing interdisciplinary connections between microbiology, bioinformatics, and evolutionary science.

As an active SEA community participant, Dr. Moyer contributes to national faculty workshops and curriculum development efforts. His laboratory instruction forms part of a collaborative network advancing undergraduate science education through authentic research, though no specific grants, awards, or named advisees are documented in the provided materials.
