Area of Expertise: Regulation of differentiation in protozoa

Our laboratory is currently investigating the formation of the somatic macronucleus during sexual reproduction in ciliated protozoa.

Our focus is now turned to the role of SUMOylation in regulating critical events during formation of the macronuclear genome in Tetrahymena.
