TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS/PROJECTS
I am interested in how chemicals produced during petroleum and natural gas harvesting and processing can affect cellular differentiation and development.  I use zebrafish as a model for how these environmental factors can influence early development.
