Biography

Dr. Buckel graduated from University of Houston-Clear Lake with a Bachelor of Science, and then attended graduate school at Purdue University. I was a post-doctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University. After post-doctoral studies I have worked for a number of drug companies including Pitman Moore Animal Health, Parke Davis Pharmaceutical Research, Amgen and Xencor.
