I support several ongoing
projects in the lab:
I characterize mammalian homologs of novel Drosophila genes studied in
the lab, specifically looking at cell-cycle regulation.
I have been using immunofluorescence in cells to localize hTRIP, a
Drosophila homolog of NOPO (see Julie Merkle's
research description), and candidate interactor proteins.
I use RNAi to characterize novel cell-cycle regulators
and to eventually place these genes within a molecular
framework.
