My professional interest is in
evolutionary biology, conservation genetics, cell biology, molecular biology and
biotechnology. My laboratory experience includes all aspects of DNA extraction,
amplification, cloning, sequencing; DNA microarray analysis; protein isolation and
purification techniques and protein sequencing; PCR; RT-PCR, electrophoresis;
centrifugation; spectrophotometry; chromatography; general chemical and biological
laboratory procedures, instrumentation and research methods; and computer assisted data
and genetic analysis and genetic databases.
