Research Interests:
 

My research focuses on the characterization of a technique which utilizes transposons to accomplish gene replacement in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The technique ultimately can be usd as a major tool by C. elegans researchers in their efforts to elucidate gene function, with the goal of understanding the molecular basis of genetically inherited diseases and the potential development of treatment strategies.
