 Dr.
Jones joined the Indiana Wesleyan faculty in 2002. He is grateful
for this opportunity to serve Christ, integrating his faith
with his work in the biomedical field by teaching, advising
and involving undergraduates with research. His career has included
work as a general dentist and completion of a doctorate in biomedical
sciences in the Dayton, Ohio area. On completion of his doctorate
and prior to his appointment at IWU, Dr. Jones worked for five
years in Indianapolis as a research scientist at both Eli Lilly
and Company and the Indiana University Schools of Medicine and
Dentistry. During this time he also served as an instructor
at IUPUI teaching Pre-Health Care Major Physiology, and at Indiana
University School of Dentistry teaching First Year Problem-Based
Learning. Dr. Jones resides in Noblesville with his wife Michele,
daughter Jennifer and son Steven.
