Jennifer Sensor, PhD

Associate Professor
University of Mount Union

Personal Statement: I am an associate Professor at the University of Mount Union with a degree in cell and molecular biology. My teaching focuses on Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, Physiology, and Evidence based practice. I have a broad background in mammalian anatomy ranging from humans to marine mammals. I am currently a PI or coauthor on several research projects with students and other colleagues investigating stroke rehabilitation, microscopic analysis of bone and ligament structure at the knee joint, cellular changes in the aging brain of rats, and changes through ontogeny in the middle ear of dolphins.
