BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am interested in studying how differential gene expression controls the growth and development in fish. For this line of investigation I have primarily concentrated on the endocrine system, currently focusing on the GnRH system. Zebrafish is the model of choice for my research due to it's excellent array of functional genomic tools for gene manipulation and anlaysis.
