California Baptist University
The study of biomedical science is relevant to the understanding and treatment of human diseases. CBU’s biomedical sciences program emphasizes human biology, pathobiology and pharmacology and includes multiple opportunities to engage in community service and leadership. It prepares students for success in graduate programs as our department sees a high level of students accepted into medical schools.
Learn by experience
Students have abundant opportunity to engage in hands-on learning and collaborative
research with faculty. Our diverse, highly qualified and caring faculty is interested
in helping to develop the whole person so that students will leave here as Christian
scholars who can make a positive impact in our world.
A general survey of microorganisms with an emphasis on bacteria.
The principles of genetics including Mendelian, nature of genetic materials, chromosome mechanics, genetic recombination, and gene action.
This course will introduce the student to basic and clinical pharmacology as related to the promotion of health and alleviation of disease.

As a professor, instructing about biological systems and the human body is awesome, but meeting with students and seeing their successes is even more exhilarating! During the last several years, I have also been blessed to serve on International Service Projects with CBU students. In my off hours, I love to read biographies, hike with my wife, bike on mountain roads, and do house projects.
Before coming to CBU, I spent several years as a research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry exploring therapeutics for ocular diseases. Now as a member of the biology faculty not only do I get to continue to study the depths of the riches of God’s living creation, but I get to help my students see the beauty of God through what He has made.
As a molecular geneticist, I conduct research with national and international scientists on entomopathogenic viruses and bacteria that target mosquito vectors of infectious diseases. I especially enjoy teaching at CBU and purposefully participating in the collective vision and mission of Biological Sciences as exemplified in the lifelong faith-based commitments, achievements and successes of current students and alumni.
I was interested in studying insects and microbes when I was in high school. As a result, I chose to study insect pathology and I still love it. I earned my Ph.D. at the University of California, Riverside, and I had my first faculty position at Florida A&M University, where I taught graduate students and performed research on mosquito control. And that was the time that the Lord saved me (hallelujah)! Then, He brought me back to Riverside as a faculty member at CBU.
