Throughout her career Domer performed a great deal of research, but she also mentored postdoctoral fellows and graduate students who did research in her laboratory and taught both medical and graduate students in the areas of medical mycology and immunology.
She received appointments to various study sections at the National Institute of Health at the Veterans Administration and as a reviewer for Howard Hughes Predoctoral Fellowships. Dr. Domer has been the president of the Medical Mycological Society of the Americas, has served on the editorial boards of several journals, most notably “Infection and Immunity” and “Clinical Microbiology Reviews,” and served as the chair of the Annual Meeting Program Committee for the American Society for Microbiology.
She was awarded a Ph.D. from Tulane University where she worked, eventually receiving the title of acting vice chancellor for Graduate Studies at their medical center.
“We are very pleased that Judy has accepted our invitation to join the Board of Trustees,” said Chair of the Board Kenneth A. Bowman, a 1970 graduate of Tusculum College. “Higher education and support for Tusculum College have been key components throughout her personal and professional life, and we look forward to her input and influence to help the college grow in its endeavors.”
