Dr. Janet Stringer, Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Neuroscience at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, is the Dean of Science & Technology at Cañada College.

Stringer is a researcher in the area of brain seizure initiation and termination in the normal and epileptic brain. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 1983 and her M.D. from the University of Virginia in 1984.

"I have a lot of experience in the allied health field and Cañada has a strong allied health program. That’s what attracted me to the college," Stringer says. "My goal is to work with local hospitals and the healthcare industry to determine their workforce needs and see how the college might help them."

Stringer has two Greyhounds and likes to go hiking and walking. She also plays the viola.
