    Ann Taylor is Chair of the Chemistry Department and Haines Associate Professor of Biochemistry. Ann is a graduate of Concordia College in Moorhead MN and earned her Ph.D. from Purdue University. Her laboratory research focuses on plant signal transduction: how do plants recognize and fight off pathogens? How do plants communicate with other plants through secondary metabolites? She is also interested in how students learn. She has authored several case studies and other active learning resources for use in the classroom. Ann is on the editorial review board for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education.
     
    When she’s not in the classroom or lab, Ann enjoys running, having people over for dinner, traveling, renovating a Victorian house near campus, and hanging out with her husband and three children.
