Rate My Professor Glen Gaulton

Dr. Gaulton's research specializes in viral pathogenesis, early detection of pathogen infections, and outcomes research in global health. The Gaulton laboratory examines molecular mechanisms of retrovirus infections like HIV, their effects on the immune system, syncytium formation leading to cell destruction, and innovative detection methods including MRI imaging and portable devices for HIV diagnosis in blood. He has authored over 100 manuscripts and texts, with notable publications including "Modification of a viral envelope glycoprotein cell-cell fusion assay by utilizing plasmid encoded bacteriophage RNA polymerase" (Journal of Virological Methods, 2005), "The intrathymic pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis" (Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2005), and "Disparate regions of envelope protein regulate syncytium formation versus spongiform encephalopathy in neurological disease induced by murine leukemia virus TR" (Journal of Virology, 2004). Among his honors are the Dean's Award for Excellence in Basic Science Teaching (1990), Leonard Berwick Teaching Award (1994), Christian R. and Mary F. Linback Award for Distinguished Teaching (1996), Harry Weaver Neuroscience Scholar Award from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (1985), and Leukemia Society of America Scholar Award (1991). He has mentored over 40 students and fellows, chaired four NIH study sections, serves on executive boards of five organizations, and contributes as editor or reviewer for nine journals.
