Merideth Krevosky received her B.S. in Biology from Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana. Following graduation, she joined the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy at Loyola University of Chicago where she received her Ph.D. for her work in the biological regulation of cervical cancer. Following graduate school, Dr. Krevosky completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship studying the regulation of breast cancer at Northwestern University. She joined the faculty of Bridgewater State College in the fall of 2002 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. She teaches both introductory and upper level courses including Animal Physiology and Human Anatomy and Physiology. She also serves as the Pre-Professional advisor to BSC students interested in attending Medical School or Graduate School in the Biological Sciences.

Dr. Krevosky's research interests focus on the study of programmed cell death or apoptosis of cancer cells. Since many cancer cells acquire genetic mutations or express proteins that prevent cell death, study of cell death mechanisms may lead to identification of novel targets for the treatment of cancer. She is enthusiastic about recruiting BSC undergraduates to pursue this line of basic research.

Outside of the classroom and laboratory, Dr. Krevosky is enjoying exploring New England! As a Chicago native, she especially enjoys the abundance of trees and the proximity to the ocean, both of which are ideal settings for hiking and relaxation.
