Welcome New Faculty
Jacqueline Chang, PhD
 When I entered college I knew I wanted to major in Biology but I was not pre-med. My undergraduate advisor at Barnard College was a woman with an active research laboratory. As I got to know her, I realized that as a mother, wife, teacher and scientist, she was a living role model for all women in the college and that the field of biology held a world of possibilities. I knew I wanted to pursue research and I also wanted to learn more about the career. After graduation, I worked as a Research Assistant at The Rockefeller University where, I learned how to manage a laboratory while pursuing a research project. I later moved to a pharmaceutical company and shortly after, applied and was accepted to a graduate program at Rutgers University where I spent 2 years before transferring to the Molecular Biology Department at Princeton University. After completing my Ph.D., I moved to Duke University for Postdoctoral work. As funding for my project was nearing the end, I decided to teach Cell Biology in the Duke University Summer Biomedical Sciences Minority Medical Education Program in order to gain more teaching experience. My applications for faculty positions were focused on undergraduate colleges and universities where I could teach as well as maintain a research program. As a member of the Barry faculty, I hope that my research program will provide students with the opportunity to become excited about career possibilities in science.
