Areas of Expertise
Developmental Biology and Genetics, the Development of Xenopus laevis, in particular the development of the ear.
I study the role of X-Wnt3a in the development of the ear of Xenopus laevis using a variety of embryological and molecular techniques. I work in collaboration with Dr. Andres Collazo at the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles.
