Associate Professor, Mathematics, Analytics, Science, and Technology Division
Dr. Blodgett joined Babson College in September of 2012 and currently teaches Biotechnology in the Math and Science Division. He received his B.A. in Chemistry and Spanish from Assumption College in 2002, his Ph.D. in Biomedical Science in 2007, and M.S. in Clinical Investigation in 2012 at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
Dr. Blodgett's research interests center on glucose metabolism and the dysfunction caused by diabetes.
