Dr. Allan R. Albig joined the faculty of the Department of Biological Sciences at Boise State University in 2012. He has a Ph.D. from the School of Molecular Biosciences at Washington State University, and a B.S. in Genetics and Cell Biology from the University of Minnesota. He has been a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Pediatrics, National Jewish Medical Center in Denver, and at the Department of Pharmacology, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Aurora, Colorado. Before coming to Boise State, Dr. Albig was a physiology professor at Indiana State University in Terre Haute. His primary research interests are in vascular biology, cancer, angiogenesis, and the extracellular matrix. Vascular abnormalities are associated with at least 70 different human diseases, including heart disease and cancer, and the overall goal of his research is to better understand diseases that are characterized by insufficient or excessive angiogenesis. Dr. Albig also serves as a reviewer for Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, Experimental Cell Research, and Journal of Molecular Cancer.
