BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
We are interested in how proteins necessary for normal chromosome architecture during the cell cycle can also contribute to gene expression, animal development and cancer. The main focus of our research is exploring alternative roles for proteins needed for sister chromatid cohesion during mitosis.
