About

My name is Dr. Kent Edmonds.  I am a Professor of Biology at Indiana University Southeast.  I grew up in southern California (Torrance, CA) and obtained my undergraduate degree at the University of California at Santa Cruz.  Subsequently, I attended the University of Delaware to obtain my PhD in Biology with an emphasis in Physiology.  Upon graduation, I went to North Carolina State University for almost a year and a half for a Postdoctoral Research position.  I then went to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst for two and a half years for a second Postdoctoral Research position.  After leaving Massachusetts, I came to IU Southeast where I have been on the faculty for almost 28 years.  My research involves the hormonal regulation of reproduction and the hormonal regulation of gastrointestinal development in rodents.  I enjoy reading and going to bookstores, listening to music, and going to antique stores.
