Autobiography -
Welcome to our web site.
Here you will find information about my research program and activites. On the research side, we study the regulation of gene expression in the immune system. The overall focus of this work is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which genes in the immune system are controlled in response to developmental and environmental stimuli. It is of course the environmental stimuli that we think about most when we consider infection and cancer.
My laboratory is composed of a postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and research technicians. The lab pages will have their stories about what they do in the lab. We have also listed in PDF form, a list of our protocols that many have been interested in over the years. Additionally, MTA forms for reagents are also available, should you want to request some of our goodies.
To help young scientists with managing their careers, I have been actively engaged in publishing articles and books that describe the pitfalls and solutions to navigating one’s way through the research environment. Click on the career development pages for this resource of articles and books.
Like everyone else, I have hobbies and things that I like to do. Some good, some not as good as I would like. I play tennis, guitar, travel and shoot lots of photographs, and make furniture. Images from my travels and some of my furniture pieces are displayed within the site.
Enjoy the site.
