Voet, of Fundamentals of Biochemistry, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

KATHLEEN CORNELY holds a B.S. in chemistry from Bowling Green (Ohio) State University, an M.S. in biochemistry from Indiana University, and a Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry from Cornell University. She is currently the Robert H. Walsh '39 Endowed Professor in Chemistry and Biochemistry at Providence College, where she has focused on expanding the use of case studies and guided inquiry across a broad spectrum of classes. Her interest in active pedagogy has led to her involvement in national programs including Project Kaleidoscope, the POGIL Project, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute SEA PHAGES program, which has also fueled her current experimental research in phage genomics. She has been a member of the editorial board of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education and has served for several years as coordinator of the undergraduate poster competition at the annual meeting of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
