Melissa Hills

Dr. Hills is active in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in addition to her biological research. She investigates barriers to learning and how these can be reduced using the Universal Design for Learning framework. She is particularly interested in biology laboratory courses and other experiential learning environments and the experiences of disabled and/or neurodivergent students. This research is being done in partnership with undergraduate co-investigators with disabilities. Dr. Hills also mentors undergraduate research projects in molecular biology using the model plant, Arabidopsis. She has published research on the biosafety of genetically modified crops, invasive plants and the molecular regulation of plant development.
