Brief Biography
Dr. Johnson
earned his undergraduate degree at the University of North Dakota, Grand
Forks, North Dakota, in 1968 and his M.D. degree from the University
of Connecticut Medical School, Farmington, Connecticut, in 1976. He
performed his residency in the Department of Anatomic Pathology at the
University of Connecticut Medical School from 1977-1979, then became
an Assistant Professor in that same Department in 1979.
In 1980,
Dr. Johnson moved to the University of Michigan where he became an Assistant
Professor in the Department of Pathology, where he was promoted to Associate
Professor in 1983 and Full Professor in 1988. He serves as the Director
of the Morphology Core for the Department of Pathology.
The
major areas of study for Dr. Johnson include clinical interests in the
immunopathological evaluation of skin and renal biopsies, and research
interests, broadly characterized, which deal with the pathogenesis of
inflammation, particularly the acute inflammatory response and the role
of matrix metalloproteinases in prostate cancer. These interests
have led to significant NIH-sponsored research support. |
