Dr. Phillip Jen is the newest professor of biology at UPIKE.
Senior biology major Jacob Potter said, “Dr. Jen is very enthusiastic about being here at UPIKE. He enjoys teaching and his positive attitude rubs off on his students.”
Potter is currently taking Jen for Histology, which is the study of body tissues.
Jen was born in Taiwan. Shortly thereafter, his family moved to the United States.
After completing his undergraduate studies at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, he went on to study ecology for his graduate studies. He then went on to finish his studies at Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he obtained his Ph. D in Human Anatomy.
Jen is impressed with UPIKE so far. “I like the people here, there would really go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome here,” Jen said.
