Cornelius
Elfernik grew up in Australia and did his formal schooling there. He
received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Adelaide in
Adelaide, South Australia in 1988. He did his post-doctoral training
at Stanford University in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and
then accepted a position in the Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Dr. Elferink was
recruited to UTMB and the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology in
2001. The GRIP Program was enthusiastic about supporting this
recruitment because of Dr. Elferink's interest in cell cycle control and
apoptosis. |
