Dr. Mary Barbe received her B.A. in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a PhD in Anatomy from the Bowman Gray School of Medicine at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. She completed an NIH post-doctoral fellowship in developmental neuroscience research at Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA in 1990. Her areas of teaching are gross anatomy, neuroscience, imaging techniques in the Physical Therapy Department. She also lectures in Cell Biology courses in the Anatomy and Cell Biology Department. Dr. Barbe has received the Excellence in Teaching Award from the College of Allied Health Professions in 1994 and 2007.
Dr. Barbe, in collaboration with Dr. Barr and investigators in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology of Temple School of Medicine (Drs. Safadi and Popoff), uses a rat model of cumulative trauma disorder to examine motor behavioral and pathophysiological changes associated with repetitive, forceful upper limb motor tasks. This model is used to examine the exposure-response relationship between motor task repetition rate and force and physiological and behavioral indicators of injury.
