معرفی
Jason Heindl, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological & Biomedical Sciences at Rowan University's College of Science & Mathematics. His research focuses on bacterial cell biology, biofilms, and prokaryotic development, with emphasis on Agrobacterium tumefaciens as a model system. He teaches courses in Microbiology and integrates research with pedagogy through initiatives like the CURE program.
Education:
• B.A. in Biology from Amherst College (1997)
• Ph.D. in Microbiology from Harvard University (2010)
• Postdoctoral Fellow at Indiana University (2010–2015)
Research Expertise: Dr. Heindl investigates molecular mechanisms of bacterial attachment, motility, and biofilm formation. His work spans antimicrobial development, signal transduction pathways, and genetic regulation in pathogenic bacteria. Key themes include cyclic-di-GMP signaling, metal ion homeostasis, and polyamine metabolism in microbial systems.
Publication Trends: His 15 most recent articles (2014–2025) cluster in microbiology, antimicrobial chemistry, and bacterial genetics. Dominant topics include biofilm disruption strategies, Agrobacterium virulence regulation, and structure-activity relationships in drug design. Educational research on STEM identity transformation via microbial models is an emerging focus.
