Dr. Marjorie A. Jones from IL State University came over to our lovely chemistry department at Andrews University to give us a talk about Leishmania on January 6, 2011.

She opened making it clear that the disease wasn't yet popular even though at least 12 million people world wide have been affected by it. She went further to explain that it has some basic form that it comes in, consisting of cutaneous, visceral and mucocutaneous forms and that sand flies and geckos are common hosts of Leishmania.

This week’s presentation was given by Dr. Marjorie A. James of Illinois State University.  She is currently a professor of biochemistry at Illinois State U. Her major area of research has to do with the derivatives of prophyrins and the effect it has on the disease Leishmania, which is the focus of her presentation. The title of her presentation is “Leishmania diseases and Our Biochemical Approach to New Therapies.”

On January 6th 2011, Chemistry Seminar was presented by Dr. Marjorie A Jones. The topic centered on “Leishmania Diseases and our Biochemical Approaches to New Therapies.” Dr. Marjorie came from the distant land of Normal, Illinois. More specifically, she does research in the Chemistry Department at the University of Illinois.

The very first thing the speaker mentioned was that she preferred to be called a lipids scientist. I found this amusing.

I have always known that it takes a long time to find the cure for a disease. I never had to experience polio or measles, and many other awful diseases, because I was vaccinated for them at a young age. There are still epidemics like AIDS and malaria around the world and on January 6, 2011 Dr. Marjorie A. Jones from the Department of Chemistry at Illinois State University came to talk about Leishmania Diseases and Our Biochemical Approaches to New Therapies.

On January 06, 2011 we were pleased to receive a lecture by Dr. Marjorie A. Jones on a topic that I have never heard of before, Leishmania.  Dr. Jones is a biochemist that enjoys studying lipid biochemistry and conducting research in this field.  Her presentation was about Leishmana which are one cell parasites that need a host, otherwise known as obligate parasites.
