Teaching:
Approaches to Biology (BIOL100)
A freshman-level introductory biology class. I teach the module covering genetics, molecular biology and evolution.
Eukaryotic Genetics and Molecular Biology (BIOL414/BIOL614)
An advanced course in Molecular Genetics of Eukaryotes taught from the primary research literature at the Senior and Graduate level. It is a required course in the Applied Molecular Biology curriculum.
Research: Molecular Genetics of the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Our research concerns the regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level (translation, and mRNA and protein stability). We are also interested in modulation of translational accuracy during translation and its relationship to ribosomal structure.
