Dr. Paul Deeble joined the biology department at Mary Baldwin University in 2002 as an assistant professor.

Dr. Deeble earned his BS in biology/vertebrate physiology from Pennsylvania State University in 1996. While at Penn State, he worked as a co-op research scientist for Burroughs Wellcome in Research Triangle Park, NC in the Molecular Pharmacology Division studying Alzheimer’s disease.  He then earned a PhD in molecular medicine and microbiology in 2002 from the University of Virginia. The title of Dr. Deeble’s dissertation was Mechanisms of Neuroendocrine Differentiation in Prostate Cancer Leading to Paracrine Growth Stimulation. He has published multiple peer-reviewed articles in research journals such as Cancer Research, Journal of Biological Chemistry, and Molecular and Cellular Biology. 

Dr. Deeble completed his postdoctoral training at the University of Virginia Cardiovascular Center, performing research focused on the abnormal vasculature that forms in many tumors. During this time, he was an adjunct assistant professor of biology at Piedmont Virginia Community College teaching lectures and labs in anatomy and physiology.  Since coming to Mary Baldwin University, he has taught classes in a variety of sub-disciplines in biology including anatomy, physiology, genetics, human health and medicine, cancer biology and electron microscopy. 

In addition to Dr. Deeble’s love for teaching, he enjoys cycling, playing golf, walking his dogs, and working on his family’s small hobby farm. Most of all Dr. Deeble enjoys spending time with his wife, Dr. Jennifer Visger, and two daughters Zoe and Sadie.
