Dr. Prince has always been interested in nature and feels rooted in the outdoors, having been raised in northeastern Pennsylvania dairy country. After graduate school and working in Ohio for a number of years he moved to Plymouth in 1985. Dr. Prince’s research interests and publications have been in various areas of cell biology including neuron and synaptic ultrastructure, human muscle fibers and adaptations with exercise, myelin development, steroid-cell structure and development and mitochondrial structure. His interests in environmental areas has not waned.
