Dr. John Lepri

Biology

Dr. John Lepri is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biology. Long ago, he was #3 in a “basket of nine puppies,” born in Detroit, Michigan, in a household of automotive engineers. He studied biology and psychology at the University of Michigan. He completed a Ph. D. in zoology at North Carolina State University. His research on the environmental modulation of mammalian reproduction by pheromones and endocrine disruptors has taken him to the Monell Chemical Senses Center, Princeton University and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. He has served as Chief Faculty Consultant for College Board’s Advanced Placement Biology program and, at UNCG, he teaches general biology, physiology, biological clocks, and reproduction. He also worked closely with UNCG’s future high-school science-teachers. Outdoors is where you’ll find him in his retirement, golfing, hiking, canoeing, and tending the chickens and the garden.
