About
With a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Utah, and additional experience and training as a National Science Foundation International Research Postdoctoral Fellow in Australia and New Zealand, Dr. Jennifer Forbey joined the faculty of the Department of Biological Sciences at Boise State University in 2008. Dr. Forbey's earlier teaching experience includes a course in the Biology of Mammals at Oregon State University, and courses in Global Environmental Issues and Pharmacokinetics at the University of Utah. In addition to General Biology courses at Boise State, Dr. Forbey teaches Special Topics in Plant-Animal Interactions.
Dr. Forbey's research interests focus on two general areas related to plant-herbivore interactions employing a combination of laboratory and field-based approaches: the evolutionary diversity of plant-animal chemical interactions; and pharm-ecology, an ecological approach to natural product drug discovery.
