I joined the biology faculty at Gustavus as a cell biologist, and taught the sophomore-level cell/molecular biology course (every fall), the advanced cell biology course (every spring), and other courses as needed, including a course for non-majors in circadian rhythms. I continued my research examining the regulation and roles of cryptochromes in the.

I taught three courses and mentored laboratory research students in the biology program at Bard College, a small liberal-arts college about 90 miles north of NYC. In the fall I taught a mostly seminar-style course in protein structure and function, and in the spring taught two lecture/laboratory courses: a non-majors' course in circadian biology and a.

I began studying molecular aspects of circadian rhythms, focusing on protein-protein interactions of Cryptochromes. Approaches I used included homology modeling, subcloning and site-directed mutagenesis, and cell culture and cell-based assays.For two years I mentored an undergraduate student in laboratory research, and aided in his successful application.
