I study how powdery mildews affect host plant metabolism, looking for specific nutrients that the fungus needs but can be restricted by the host. To identify these metabolites, I am using mutant infection phenotyping, expression data, and metabolomic analyses to look for changes in lipid metabolism with infection.

- investigating sRNA movement between cells within Arabidopsis ovules to regulate GFP and endogenous genes- assembling the transcriptome of the unsequenced N. thermarum species de novo, hoping to look into parental conflict dynamics within the basal angiosperm's diploid endosperm- lab technician duties supporting other members of the lab

Examined chromatin dynamics relative to allele expression in endosperm nuclei, using FISH techniques to visualize the differential localization of imprinted gene alleles relative to nuclear landmarks, such as centromeres, chromosome territories, NORs, and the nuclear periphery.

- increased scale-up for large-scale, robotics-based directed evolution of temperature-sensitive enzymes (2009)- directed evolution of temperature sensitive enzymes for cellulosic ethanol production (2008)- Lab assistant performing PCR reactions, plasmid cloning, preps, westerns, HSP gene cloning and protein extraction (2007)
