Research Interests
My current project focuses on the role that the cell cycle plays in differentiation. These two processes are intrinsically interconnected in all animals with differentiated tissues, however, these two processes have mainly been studied independently. It is important to understand how these two processes are interlinked since it is often one or both that go awry in human disease.
