Department of Microbiology, Columbia University:
From 1982 thru 1997, I lectured in the immunology section of the departmental course given to medical, dental, and graduate students. My lectures covered the complement system, antigen-antibody interactions, T-cell immunology, and Types II-IV hypersensitivity. I also taught courses for graduate students, such as Introductory Immunology and Advanced Immunology and was on departmental committees that reviewed Ph.D. qualifying examinations and oral defenses of Ph.D. theses. Periodic lectures to House Staff in the Department of Medicine at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center were also given.
