Education

Richard Nuccitelli– received his B.S. degree in Physics from the University of Santa Clara in 1970 and an M.S. degree in Physics from Purdue University in 1972. He received his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Purdue University in 1975.

Experience

His research interests include the role of endogenous ionic currents in cell and tissue physiology and the ionic regulation of cell activation. Currently he is studying the electric fields associated with human skin wound healing and developing electrotherapy to enhance wound healing rates. Dr. Nuccitelli joined Old Dominion University in the winter of 2004 and is presently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Center for Bioelectrics. He has published four books and more than 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals. He has organized several international conferences including the Gordon Research Conferences on Fertilization and the Activation of Development in 1997 and the Bioelectrochemistry Gordon Conference in 2004. He was elected Fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1995 for his contributions to cell physiology. He is an Associate Editor of Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics and a member of the Board of Directors of the Bioelectromagnetics Society.
