Office of Research: Faculty

Dr. Engeland has a PhD in the field of Neuroscience with a focus on Psychoneuroimmunology. He has a strong background in the assessment of stress, stress reactivity, endocrine function, inflammation, and immunity. Dr. Engeland also has a broad statistical background and currently directs and teaches graduate level statistics in the College of Dentistry.
