Laboratory
Research in my laboratory uses the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model for studies on the genetic architecture of behavior and
as a model for studies on the genetics of human diseases. We are
also using the zebrafish model and conditional homologous recombinant
mice to investigate the functions
of olfactomedins on development of the nervous system .My laboratory
is located in 3501 South Gardner Hall at the North Carolina State
University campus.
Teaching
My teaching activities include Principles of Physiology for upper level undergraduates
and courses in Professional Development and Behavioral Genetics at the
graduate level.
