Biography
Peabody received B.S degree in Zoology from Brigham Young University in 1975 and Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Utah in 1980. He was a postdoctoral fellow of the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund at Stanford University School of Medicine from 1981 to 1984 in the laboratory of Paul Berg. He came to the University of New Mexico as an Assistant Professor in 1984.
