Research Interests

Research in my lab is focused on
  1. understanding how the fish innate immune system responds to pathogenic stimuli;
  2. the control of growth in fish particularly as it relates to novel growth regulators such as myostatin;
  3. the regulation of ovarian function in fish.
While this research addresses a number of biological fields many of the studies utilize the same molecular and cellular approaches.
