Bob Grossfeld
Bio
Bob Grossfeld earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1963, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Stanford University Medical School in 1968, then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, 1968-1970 before teaching and researching at Cornell University and The University of Texas at Austin. He is an NCSU Professor Emeritus of Biological Sciences and Physiology. During his thirty-three years on the NC State faculty, Grossfeld received several teaching awards and served as a Park Faculty Scholar for the Class of 2012. He continues to help mentor Park Scholars.
