Research

I am interested in the regulation of vertebrate development.  Using zebrafish as a model system, my lab manipulates the expression of various genes, and then characterizes the developmental defects.  Of particular interest are how complex carbohydrates regulate early morphogenic events.

Other

Possible Student Projects:

• Requirement of st8sialyltransferases for the migration of cranial nerves in zebrafish
• Function of st3sialyltransferases during regulation of circadian rhythms in zebrafish
• Functional redundancy between sialyltransferase family members during zebrafish embryonic development
