John Swaney is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. Since 1998, he has focused on teaching and educational research after closing his research laboratory, continuing his academic contributions through curriculum development and pedagogy.
- Course Director for Medical Nutrition and Molecular Structure and Metabolism modules
- Teaching in Medical Biochemistry courses
- Creator of the web-based educational system "Netrition"
His research legacy spans lipoprotein function, particularly high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and their dependence on chemical and physical structure. His work on reverse cholesterol transport identified key players in cellular cholesterol uptake and explored enhancing serum cholesterol extraction through phospholipid reactions. Educational research evaluates student performance and satisfaction with digital interventions.
His publications from 1996-1998 highlight studies on Scavenger Receptor B1, HDL phospholipid composition, and serum cholesterol efflux mechanisms, contributing to understanding atherosclerosis prevention through lipid metabolism.
