TEACHING RESPONSIBILITIES

 

At the University of Georgia Dr. Puett participated in several undergraduate and graduate courses, including service as course organizer and lead instructor for human biochemistry and disease, biology for medicine, and Florence and the Italian Renaissance.  He also lectured first-year medical students at the Georgia Regents University/University of Georgia School of Medicine. At the University of Miami he participated in undergraduate, graduate, and medical student teaching.  Topics in physical biochemistry, metabolism, and endocrinology were presented to undergraduate and graduate students; an integrated endocrinology course was developed and coordinated for first-year medical students.  At Vanderbilt University he taught a course for graduate students in physical chemistry of biopolymers and presented lectures in endocrinology and neuroendocrinology to first-year medical and graduate students; he also taught in the biochemistry laboratory sections.  Dr. Puett directed the Ph.D. dissertations of 26 students and the M.S. theses of seven students, has mentored nearly 30 postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists, and has served on the Continuing Committees of numerous Ph.D. students in various departments at Vanderbilt University, the University of Miami, and the University of Georgia.
