Hayward Genetics Center - Human Genetics Program
FACULTY MEMBER
. Mona Ivey Hoyle, Ph.D

Dr. Hoyle received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Duke University in 1988. Her postdoctoral research at SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals involved studying the envelope and rev proteins of HIV under the direction of Dr. Martin Rosenberg. In 1991, she was appointed as a Senior Research Biochemist in the Department of Cancer Research at Merck Research Laboratories where she studied the retinoblastoma protein pRb and its interactions with transcription factor E2F and the E7 protein of HPV.

Dr. Hoyle joined the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Tulane University in 1994 as an instructor in Genetics courses. Since then, she has also taught for the Department of Biochemistry at Tulane Health Sciences Center as an instructor for a graduate student laboratory course, Methods in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Dr. Hoyle joined the Human Genetics Program as an instructor for Human Molecular Genetics in 2001.
