Hartman's Collaborative Research Published in FASED Journal

Nate Hartman, associate professor of Biology at Stockton, along with Eric Moss, associate professor at Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine and his graduate student Jennifer Romer-Seibert, recently had their research published in the FASEB Journal.
