Amy Hebert
Dr. Amy Hebert has a Ph.D. in anatomy and cell biology from the University of Illinois at Chicago. For her doctoral dissertation, she examined neurogenesis in a virally induced (TMEV) mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal was to understand how the virus affected neural stem cells and their ability to become oligodendrocytes, with the hopes of further understanding why remyelination is limited in MS.
Dr. Hebert is currently interested in pedagogy research focused around improving student learning outcomes through introduction of active learning, student driven activities, and other new teaching techniques. She is also interested in developing new assessment tools to further evaluate the addition of new pedagogy in the classroom.
