Brian C. Yowler

Brian C. Yowler is a Professor of Biology at Grove City College. His research focuses on bioinformatics analysis of Drosophila and parasitoid wasp genomes, particularly venom gene evolution through the Genomics Education Partnership (GEP). He has extensive experience in bacterial toxin studies, including botulinum neurotoxin mechanisms, collaborating with U.S. military and pharmaceutical labs.

Education: Ph.D. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Penn State University (2000), B.S. in Biology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (1995). Courses taught include Genetics, Virology, and Cell Biology Laboratory.

Research interests span toxin biology, molecular mechanisms of disease, and integrating faith perspectives with scientific inquiry. His publications highlight bioinformatics collaboration models and fundamental toxin-membrane interactions. Advising emphasizes undergraduates in bioinformatics projects. No explicit grants or labs mentioned, but active in collaborative research networks.
