Dr. Lorna G. Moore (Ph.D., University of Michigan), joined Wake Forest as Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in July 2007 with a primary faculty appointment in the Division of Public Health Sciences and a secondary appointment in the Department of Anthropology. She has been principal investigator on multiple National Institutes of Health grants and has received millions of dollars in research funding. As well as her NIH activity, other grants and funding have come from the National Science Foundation, the American Heart Association, and the U.S. Army Research and Development Command. Dr. Moore’s research interests center on the health effects of high altitude. Her more than 180 articles have appeared in the fields of anthropology, cell biology, human genetics, human physiology, internal medicine, medical anthropology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and public health. She has received numerous awards including a NIH Career Development, the Elizabeth Gee Memorial Lectureship, the CU-Denver Chancellor’s Research Scholar, and the campus-wide University of Colorado Researcher of the Year.
