Dr. Colleen M. Frey is an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science at Lebanon Valley College and teaches Anatomy & Physiology to first-year nursing students. Before LVC, she received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Her graduate research focused on identification of novel protein binding partners for G protein-coupled receptors that are implicated in nervous system disorders, particularly Parkinson’s disease.
