David Goode, PhD
Associate Professor of Chemistry
Director of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Dr. Goode teaches the organic chemistry portion of the BOMM. He has been a member of the faculty at Mercer for 13 years. He primarily teaches organic chemistry and biochemistry. His research interests are in anti-pathogen drug discovery - designing, synthesizing, and evaluating compounds against pathogen protein targets. Along with the biofilm work, Dr. Goode is working on Cholera Toxin antidotes and compounds that halt the replication of Zoster virus (the cause Shingles) and other herpes viruses.
Megan Pannell, PhD
Assistant Professor of Biology
Dr. Pannell teaches the Biology portion of the BOMM. She also teaches many other courses within the Biology curriculum, focusing on the cellular and molecular level. Dr. Pannell's research focuses on cell signaling, or how cells relay cues from their extracellular environment into physiological responses within the cell.

Linda Hensel, PhD
Professor of Biology
Chair of the Biology Department
Dr. Hensel has taught the Biology portion of the BOMM. In 2022, she will teach biology sections that perform biofilm assays on BOMM compounds. She also teaches many other courses within the Biology curriculum, focusing on the cellular and molecular level. Along with her research focuses on biofilms and genetics, Dr. Hensel is also interest in the scholarship of teaching and learning within science and truly desires to see students succeed.
