Bio
Janaki Iyer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Sciences. Dr. Iyer got a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry followed by a Master of Science in Biotechnology from India. She pursued her doctoral studies in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Stony Brook University in New York. After attaining her doctorate degree, she completed her post-doctoral fellowship at Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation under the mentorship of Dr. Mark Coggeshall. After completing her second post-doctoral fellowship at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences under the mentorship of Dr. Rashmi Kaul, Dr. Iyer joined Northeastern State University (NSU).Dr. Iyer teaches biology courses at NSU and her teaching philosophy is to impart information in an environment that promotes the overall educational growth and development of students. She was awarded the Circle of Excellence in Teaching and the Undergraduate Faculty Mentor award. In addition to teaching, she is also passionate about research. She works with uropathogens and design projects to understand the mechanisms of infection and investigate the ability of different therapeutics to treat infections caused by these pathogens.
