Current revision
Marcey received a B.A. in Biology from the College of Wooster and a Ph.D. in Biology from The University of Utah. After postdoctoral fellowships at The Max-Planck-Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen, Germany and at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, he taught and conducted collaborative research with undergraduates at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, for nine years. He joined the CLU (Cal Lutheran) faculty as Fletcher Jones Professor of Developmental Biology in 1999.
Marcey's research in Drosophila developmental genetics has been funded by the American Cancer Society, the National Science Foundation, and the Fletcher Jones Foundation. Ongoing projects in his lab include genetic analyses of tissue compartmentalization during development and RNAi-based gene regulation.
He has considerable pedagogical experience with molecular visualization and his modeling website, The Online Macromolecular Museum (OMM: www.clunet.edu/BioDev/omm/gallery.htm), pioneered the use of web-based tutorials in visualizing macromolecular structure. The OMM is currently employed by students and faculty worldwide. Marcey has served on the editorial boards of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education (Elsevier), biomednet.com, and Project MERLOT, an online peer reviewed journal of digital learning tools. He currently serves as Chair of the Educational Testing Service's Committee of Examiners for the Biology Graduate Record Examination.
