Dr. Jeremy Stubblefield

Dr. Stubblefield grew up throughout the Midwest as his parents were both officers in the United States Air Force. His family ultimately settled in northern Illinois where he considers “home.” He attended the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota and graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science Degree. Dr. Stubblefield is fascinated by the science of time and conducted research in the biological timing, or circadian rhythms, of metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he completed his PhD in Neuroscience in 2016. He continued his research on the molecular mechanisms of biological timing with his Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Texas Health San Antonio. He made discoveries related to time-of-day differences in the brain’s response to neurotrauma in mice. In addition to his teaching responsibilities at Benedictine, Dr. Stubblefield mentors students in neuroscience research on circadian rhythms, metabolism and neurotrauma.
