Professor Tigran Ananian is an educator with long-term expertise as an instructional designer, trained biotechnology and research/development manager in STEM, EdTech, eLearning, content building, curriculum design, digital pedagogy, biotechnology, genetics, chemistry, marketing, law, and intellectual property.
His passion is teaching biology and chemistry in traditional and modern modalities, and his portfolio of teaching aids, manuals, and learning resources for these subjects is unmatched. Among other things, he enjoys creating computer-based training (CBT) modules and storyboards by ADDIE and identifying big-scope trends in education. He has worked previously for several institutions to modernize their biotechnology, chemistry, biology and genetics courses, and has adapted these for pre-medical students as well as non-majors.
You can always find Professor Ananian ready to tell a good story and to meet new people!
Dr. Amos Dike, MPH, M.D., is an Assistant Professor of Biology at the College of Southern Maryland and serves as Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Natural Sciences. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Escuela Latino Americana de Medicina, Santa Fe, Cuba. He also holds a Master of Public Health from the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Dr. Dike brings extensive teaching and clinical experience to his academic roles.
Dr. Niangoran Koissi comes to Bowie State University with extensive expertise in BioOrganic Chemistry, specifically on the chemistry of key intermediates that mediate the biological effects of mutagenic and carcinogenic nitrosamines, Dr. Koissi received his PhD from the University of Turku, in Turku, Finland, and conducted postdoctoral studies at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Among other very cool credentials, Dr. Koissi holds a certificate in International Bio Business Education for Scientists, pairing his scientific know-how with an entrepreneurial mindset. Dr. Koissi’s major contribution has been in the development of new methods for various nucleoside crosslink standards synthesis, their characterizations and derivatizations. Dr. Koissi has also done extensive work in curriculum development and several projects in STEM pedagogy and STEM education, entrepreneurship and other synergistic co-curricular activities. Dr. Koissi is always willing to chat with people and lend a helping hand. Teaching and making science come alive for students are two of his passions.
Professor John Sesay graduated with a Master of Science Degree in neuropharmacology of opiates and memory in both rodents and non-human primates from Wake Forest School of Medicine. His research was on tracking the changes in hippocampal population nonlinear dynamics in rats learning a memory-dependent task. He furthered my education at St. George's University School of Medicine and gained a comprehensive understanding of basic and clinical sciences.
