Research Studying Ozone and Your Lungs
To
understand how an organism works we need to understand its basic parts
-- cells. As a cell biologist I use techniques ranging from microscopy & biochemistry
to molecular biology, and from classical genetic crosses to genomics
to attack the enormous question of 'how does a cell work?' While
each approach by itself is informative a clear picture of
a cellular process will only result by combining the right
questions with the best techniques and taking time to listen
to the data. My courses reflect this 'multi-front' approach
and combine discussions of questions and journal articles,
interactive lectures, investigative labs and web assignments.
* I have also been a co-advisor to students developing Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry majors through the Center for Interdicsiplinary Studies.
