Research Interests
As manager of the LSU Genomics Core (College of Science), I provide DNA & RNA services, general molecular biology services and technique trouble-shooting advice. My experience in academic biology includes molecular biology, population genetics, embryology, and fisheries field research. I also spent 5 years as a project manager in an environmental-regulatory program (New England Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers). My strengths include extensive experience in troubleshooting techniques, a broad background in molecular and field research techniques, and a dedication to designing better ways to achieve work goals.
