Biography

Dr. Heather Bruns is currently working as Professor at Department of Biology, Ball State University. Indiana University School of Medicine, Ph.D. (2003) Department of Microbiology and Immunology Indiana University-Purdue University, M.S. Biology Indiana University B.S. Biochemistry (1997)

Research Intrest

Examine the activation, gene expression, and functions of several cells of the immune system (following a variety of stimulations and treatments, to employ both cell culture and murine model systems, to utilize many immuno-based assays – predominantly flow cytometry – to assess alterations in cellular activation, gene expression, and function, and to collaborate with investigators in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry.
