For the past 47 years, pioneer educator Prof. Edward Biehl has left his professional mark in organic chemistry with a specialization in neuro-diseases, particularly Alzheimer's.
Having earned his PhD. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1961, he was appointed a professor and eventually Chair of the Department of Chemistry at Southern State University where he teaches basic and advanced Organic Chemistry. A Phi Beta Kappa, Dr. Biehl has written for numerous publications on several synthesis studies.
Among his areas of research are enhanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical compounds.
"With a bleak economy moving forward, governmental funding has scaled back substantially since the country declared a recession," the professor admits, though with a great sense of hope, he adds, "Our relationship with Johns Hopkins looks promising for future funding," then chuckles, "but I didn't do it by myself. I had help from Bob Levine and Professor John McGuire."
