Drew Schoeffield, Ph.D.

  • Academic Focus Biology

Before he was a professor, Dr. Schoeffield was a biology student at Loyola. His scholarship and his courses focus on the roles of bacteria in aquatic ecosystems, how bacterial populations interact with one another, and how their interactions affect the ecosystem. In 2016, he was part of a team of science faculty who were awarded a $154,521 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to help ensure more accurate analysis of critical evidence in crime scene investigations by developing a technique for law enforcement to distinguish fly artifacts from human bloodstains. Dr. Schoeffield also helped develop a science-focused program at Newcastle University in England to support science majors with heavy course loads, and provide them a viable option to study abroad.
