Bio:
Brett Condon is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology primarily responsible for the HHMI-funded SEA-PHAGES and SEA-GENES programs. Professor Condon previously researched cellular protein trafficking in the COPII pathway, and its regulation by the monosaccharide, O-GlcNAc. As a post-doc, Condon transitioned to research in STEM Education and evidence-based teaching approaches.
Professor Condon cares deeply about experiential learning and making appreciable change in how STEM classes are taught. Condon was honored to work with Drexel’s Center for the Advancement of STEM Teaching and Learning Excellence (CASTLE) and plans to continue working towards positive change in STEM education.
Drawing on his Medical School background, Condon enjoys relating basic science topics to relevant and interesting contexts in human physiology and pathology.
