Expertise

Area(s) of Specialization:

  • Regulation of protein biosynthesis
  • Yeast genetics and biochemistry
  • Molecular and cell biology of insects and cancer

We are particularly interested in the biological effects of translational regulation by altering the choice of start codons, including non-AUG start codons.


Research: Biology – Studies the control of protein synthesis and the alterations in gene expression that can lead to cancer


Subject areas:

  • Genetics, Developmental, and Cell Biology.
