About me

My research falls into three categories. First, I have a long-standing interest in the evolution of the adaptive immune system. I study the molecules involved in immunity in cartilaginous fishes and protochordates. Second, I am interested in using molecular techniques to find previously unattainable answers to questions in marine biology. In particular I am looking at species identification in bivalves. Third, I am working with middle and high school teachers to bring a better understanding of scientific research and SMT (science, math, technology) concepts to their students.
