Dr. Baggott received the Ph.D. (1966) from the Department of Physiological
Chemistry, The Johns Hopkins University. After postdoctoral study in the
Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of Utah he accepted a position at Hahnemann Medical College (now Allegheny University of the Health Sciences), where he has focused on Biochemistry education. He is a
codeveloper of NetBiochem and the Integrated Biochemistry Learning Series
(IBLS), and is director of the team-taught nutrition course. His major
current interest is in use of electronic communication in Biochemistry
research and education. Aspects of this are discussed briefly in a paper presented at the Second International WWW Conference '94.
IBLS is a nearly
complete medical biochemistry course for the Macintosh computer which
includes the entire material content of appropriate lectures (text,
graphics, animations and sound), along with other learning and review
exercises. A demonstration
module is available on line.
Dr. Baggott passed away December 24, 1998. He will be missed. The NetBiochem site remains
as a tribute to his work.
