Behind the Success of Cutting-Edge Research at Northeast, There’s Dean Jeanmarie Burke
Meet Dr. Jeanmarie Burke.
Dean of Faculty and Research
It was neuromuscular research that attracted Jeanmarie Burke, Ph.D., to New York Chiropractic College, now Northeast College of Health Sciences. Her research at the time was focused on neuromuscular adaptations to exercise and aging.
When she first visited the campus in August of 1998 Dr. Burke found her career match -- Northeast's research resources and infrastructure matched her background of researching the neuromuscular system. She joined the faculty as Associate Professor with the primary responsibility of conducting research studies. In 2004 she took over administrative responsibilities for the entire Research department.
Fast forward to today, and Dr. Burke is currently the dean of faculty and research. In this role, she works one-on-one with Northeast's D.C. faculty on issues including workload, schedules, and professional development. As well, Dr. Burke oversees Northeast's 8,000 square-foot research center facilities, where faculty and students participate in cutting-edge work that contributes to the evidence-based practice of natural healthcare interventions.
"As the Dean my goal is to facilitate a strong professional environment and independent research, and provide faculty and students with the resources they need to be successful," Dr. Burke said.
