Dr. Andrew Annalora was promoted to Associate Professor (Senior Research).

Hailing from Gallup, New Mexico, my upbringing near the Navajo Nation instilled in me a profound appreciation for cultural diversity. My journey in science began at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where I studied vitamin D hormone biochemistry, and earned a PhD in the Biomedical Sciences delving into the protein structures of important therapeutic targets for cancer and chronic kidney disease.

Postdoctoral achievements at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, led me to Oregon State University, where I conduct research on xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, mentor students, and am deeply committed to toxicology, addressing pivotal environmental health issues.
