Dr. Tiffany Wilson Ardley attended FAMU on a Presidential Scholarship and earned a BS in Biology and an MS in Medicinal Chemistry. In May of 2003, she made history as the first African American and first woman to earn the Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from FAMU. After a Post Doctoral Fellowship at Howard University and teaching at Albany State University, she returned to FAMU where she teaches various courses in CoPPS, IPH. She served as a Faculty Senator and held the positions of Senate Secretary and Vice President. In 2017 she led the implementation of the BSPS degree program where she is the current Director. This degree is the only one in the state of Florida and the first at an HBCU with a College of Pharmacy. In 2022 she was named the Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research. She is the Principal Investigator for four US Department of Education grants and also leads a cancer drug discovery research laboratory. She has published 20 manuscripts and her research has been presented at over 50 national and international meetings. In 2020 she received a U.S. Patent for an active anti-cancer agent discovered in her research laboratory. In the community she serves as a member of the Board of Directors for PACE for Girls, Inc., and the Tallahassee Trainers Foundation Board. She is a 33 year member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and has served as the Primary Advisor for the Beta Alpha Chapter at FAMU since 2018.
