Dr. Lawrence enjoys teaching. She primarily has experience teaching Biology and Chemistry
(among other subjects). She has done research on the effect of nicotine on the cardiovascular
system and the effect of second-hand smoke exposure on asthma development. She is
currently interested in exploring the effect of plant extracts on drug resistant bacterial
growth.
