Expertise

My primary interests are in the field of functional genomics and molecular toxicology. I am broadly interested in factors influencing the evolution and control of transcriptional regulatory networks, as well as mechanisms of molecular adaptation to environmental stressors and ‘systems biology’ approaches to constructing genome-wide models of genetic regulation of environmental and ecological responses.

Research:

  • Evolution of transcription regulatory networks
  • Environmental and ecological genomics
