Don Jarvis: Biography
Jarvis Quick Links
Don Jarvis earned B.S. (1978) and M.S. (1980) degrees in Microbiology at Idaho State University and a Ph.D. (1986) in Virology at Baylor College of Medicine. After a brief postdoctoral training period at Baylor, Don moved to Texas A&M University in 1987 to study glycoprotein biosynthesis and processing in the baculovirus system as a postdoctoral scientist in Max Summers’ group. In 1989, Don took an independent position at Texas A&M and continued to work in the baculovirus system until the end of 1997. Don subsequently moved to the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of Wyoming, where he has continued to develop a research program focused on glycoprotein biosynthesis in the baculovirus-insect cell system.
