Biography:

After growing up in Ellsworth Maine, Shallee Page received his A.B. in Biochemistry in 1989 and his M.A. in Science Education in 1991. He taught high school science in New Jersey for four years before returning to graduate school. In 2000, he was granted his Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology from Cornell University for research on lipases, proteins that break down fats in the bloodstream.

In between, he has done research stints at Merck, Sharpe and Dohme Pharmaceuticals, The Jackson Laboratory, and the rain forest outside Quito, Ecuador. Currently, he is involved in undergraduate research analyzing the function of an uncharacterized gene that is involved in human liver cancer and looking at a protein that senses light in soft-shell clams. In June 2012, he took two undergraduates to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to present their analysis of the DNA of a novel bacteriophage "Marcell".
