She moved to Arizona State University in 2009. She has been the principal investigator, or co-PI, on over a dozen private and public grants, including
National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and the Gates Foundation. She recently returned to the U.S. after a tenured position at Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands. She publishes under the name Mina C. Johnson-Glenberg and her current research focuses on S.T.E.M. education, using games, mixed reality or virtual reality (XR).
