| Roger Kennett, Ph.D.
http://www.wheaton.edu/Biology/faculty/kennett.html
Ruth Kraft Strohschein Professor of Biology & Chair of Wheaton College Biology Department. Dr. Kennett received his undergraduate degree in Biology from Eastern College. After completing a Ph.D. in Biochemical Sciences at Princeton University he did postdoctoral research at the University of California San Diego studying the interaction of antibodies with single antigenic determinants. He then joined the faculty of the Genetics Department at Oxford University to do research on mapping human genes with mouse X human hybrid cells, focusing on the expression of human antigens. After four years at Oxford, he moved to the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine were he did research on the genetics of human tumor antigens using monoclonal antibodies, taught genetics and immunology courses and mentored medical and graduate students. At Penn he was also Director of the Cell Center facility, a core component of the Genetics, Cancer and Diabetes Research Centers. The Cell Center facilitated research in over 150 laboratories by providing support for the use of cell culture and monoclonal antibody technology. In 1996 Dr. Kennett moved to Wheaton College as the Ruth Kraft Strohschein Professor of Biology and the Chair of Biology. |

David Cook, Ph.D.
http://www.wheaton.edu/Philosophy/Cook/index.html
Wheaton College Philosophy Professor. E. David Cook studied Mental Philosophy at Edinburgh University. He was invited to Arizona State University and completed a B.A. in Philosophy before working with the Black Panthers in Oakland. He returned for his Masters and then studied theology while he completed his PhD at New College in Edinburgh in 'The Nature of Rationality a Comparing and Contrasting of Religion with Morals and Metaphysics'. His first teaching role was in philosophy, theology and Christian ethics in St. John's theological college, Nottingham and in the University there. In 1979 he moved to Oxford University, where he created a new theology degree and taught medical ethics in the medical faculty, Christian ethics, theology and philosophy of religion in the theology faculty and the whole range of philosophy papers in the philosophy sub-faculty. He was and remains a Fellow of Green College and Professor of Christian Ethics at Southern Seminary. He advises the Archbishops and the British Government and is a member of the UK Xenotransplantation Interim Regulatory Authority. He lectures internationally and preaches in a wide variety of denominations. |

| David Fletcher, Ph.D. http://www.wheaton.edu/Philosophy/fletcher/index.html
Wheaton Philosophy Professor. I started college as a English major, but switched to Philosophy after taking the Introductory course. After finishing my BA in philosophy, I worked for a couple of years, including as a manuscript editor at the Journal of the American Medical Association and as a library associate with the Chicago Public Library. Finally I resumed studies at Loyola University , where I wrote a master's thesis on Kierkegaard, and left there with the MA to finish the PhD at the University of Illinois , a top-notch program in which my advisor would be William P. Alston , who is now noted for his contributions to contemporary Christian philosophy. In graduate school I was committed to finding a position in which I might teach philosophy in a Christian college, and in 1981 I began work at Wheaton College Philosophy Department. |
