Gregory J. Eaton

Gregory J. Eaton, Ph.D., is a Teaching Professor in the Department of Biological & Biomedical Sciences at Rowan University's College of Science & Mathematics. He specializes in cellular and molecular biology, genetics, and biological pedagogy, with a focus on reactive oxygen species signaling, osteoarthritis, autophagy, and breast cancer research.

• Education:
  • AA in History and Political Science, Gloucester County College
  • BS in Biological Sciences, Rowan University
  • PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology, Thomas Jefferson University

Dr. Eaton's research bridges molecular signaling mechanisms (e.g., MAP kinase pathways) with biomedical applications, particularly in osteoarthritis and vitamin B12 deficiency. His recent publications explore gene variants (TCN2 G776G), MTHFR polymorphisms, and the role of ASK1 in degenerative joint diseases and bone development.

He coordinates the Introduction to Cell Biology course, serves as Networking Co-Coordinator for URISE@Rowan, and advises the Biology Club and Pre-PA Club. His teaching portfolio includes advanced cell biology, genetics, and biomedical frontiers seminars.
