Reseach Interests: Drosophila models of human neurodegenerative diseases


I chose to pursue a teaching/research career at a predominantly undergraduate institution because I believe deeply in the liberal arts model that guides schools like the College of Charleston.  In all aspects of my teaching, research, and service I aim to expose undergraduates to the world of research in the biological sciences.   I enjoy the close contact with students in the classroom and the laboratory because it invigorates my teaching in the classroom and my research in the lab.  I teach a variety of courses in the Department of Biology at the College of Charleston.  Specifically, I offer sections of Introduction to Cell and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology and Neuroscience I.  Each year, I also supervise several students who are exploring model systems research through an Independent Study or Bachelors Essay based on work done in my laboratory.
