Chris Keator, PhD, is a broadly trained reproductive biologist聽with a primary focus on Women's Health. He has almost 20 years of experience in reproductive physiology,聽conducting both basic science and biomedical translational research with a variety of different animal models.聽 Since 2012聽he's聽been heavily invested in聽medical education, and has promoted聽the use of novel聽strategies to help today's millennial student streamline learning in this modern digital age of information overload.聽 In 2014 he was recruited to 汤头条app, where he serves as the Basic Science Course Director for the Endocrine and Reproductive Course, and as the Director of Explorations.聽 Since 2016, he's leveraged his animal science background聽to help build the聽PHS-assured 汤头条app Animal Care & Use program.
