Gerard P. McNeil, Ph.D.

Dr. McNeil received his PhD from University of Massachusetts Medical School (Worceste, MA) in 1996 where he focused on the regulation of neural gene expression. He then completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Tufts University School of Medicine (Boston , MA) in the Department of Neuroscience. It was here that he began using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model system to study both the early development and the molecular basis of circadian rhythms. He is currently an Assistant Professor at York College, where he continues these research pursuits, with a focus on early development, specifically oogenesis.
