II. TEACHING ACTIVITIES
Brief statement of areas of teaching interest
At some point in my career I have taught most areas of physiology. My greatest competencies are in membrane
transport and electrophysiology, but I have also taught cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal and muscle physiology
and have led small groups in endocrine and respiratory physiology. I have maintained an interest in quality
teaching, including teaching in my area of research expertise, photobiology.

A pen-pal program that pairs elementary and middle school science classes with volunteer scientist penpals to correspond regarding two science challenge packets per year.
1995-2004
In past years several medical students, undergraduate students and high school students
have worked in my lab, usually during the summer.

III. RESEARCH AND SCHOLARLY ACTIVITIES:
Brief statement of areas of research interest and current projects underway:
My research interests centered on ion transport processes across cell membranes. I am
particularly interested in the effects of photosensitizing dyes / reactive oxygen species on these
processes.
Additional research activity involved assessment of how well students learn using traditional
learning resources vs. web-based, interactive resources. A project called the Digital Photobiology
Compendium has created a web-based tool for photobiology education. The project was used worldwide
and evaluated. It is currently undergoing its first major revision, under the direction of the American
Society for Photobiology which has assumed ownership of the project.
1. Grant and contracts
(Information must include whether the nominee is the principal investigator or a co-investigator, names of all
investigators, title of grant, funding source, dollar amount in direct costs, and years during which grant applies. Coinvestigators must specify role.)
Through 2011 the grants and contracts, below, amount to 1) in excess of $2 million for work granted to
D.P. Valenzeno as PI, 2) in excess of $1.5 million awarded to D.P. Valenzeno as administrative lead and
3) about $850,000 awarded to others with D.P. Valenzeno as Co-I or Co-PI.
