Kevin R. Kelliher Ph.D. received his doctorate in biology in 2001 from Boston University where he studied chemosensory communication and social behavior. In 2001 Dr. Kelliher accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and later held the position of research assistant professor where he continued his research and began lecturing in medical neuroscience. In 2006 he took an assistant professor position at the University of Idaho and was course director for the medical neuroscience program and an instructor in gross anatomy. It 2010 Dr. Kelliher came to the University of Bridgeport to take over teaching anatomy and neuroscience courses for the School of Chiropractic and to become the coordinator for the health sciences gross anatomy laboratory. In 2017 Dr. Kelliher began teaching in the PAI as Instructor for the Anatomy I and Anatomy II courses. Dr. Kelliher has a history of publishing student directed research out of the anatomy laboratory, providing learning experiences for local high school STEM students and educational opportunities for UB undergraduates in health science majors.
