Emily Grossman

Emily Grossman grew up in California and attended the University of California, Irvine for her undergraduate work, and the University of California, San Diego for her graduate work. Her graduate work focused on the genetic pathways involved in the development and targeting of C. elegans neurons. After completion of her Ph.D, she taught upper division biology classes at UCSD for a year, and then moved to Boston for a year. After a year of gaining valuable teaching experience at BU and UMass: Boston, she returned back to sunny San Diego and began teaching full-time at UCSD in 2016. She teaches both laboratory and lecture-based courses, and enjoys teaching new subjects to continue to learn new things about the field of biology. She has taught classes focusing on introductory biology, microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology, and loves inserting current and relevant memes and videos into her lectures to keep everyone awake and engaged. When she is not teaching, she enjoys hiking, watching detective shows on Netflix, and finding new recipes to try to make.
