RESEARCH INTERESTS
My current work is focused
on the effects of the phytohormone ethylene on transcriptional regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana. In Dr. Joseph Ecker’s laboratory at the Salk
Institute of Biological Sciences, I am specifically working on identifying the
targets of the transcription factors EIN3 and EIL1 using chromatin
immunoprecipitation on chip. In Dr. Trey
Ideker’s laboratory, the aforementioned protein-DNA interaction data as well as
existing protein-protein interaction and expression data will be used to
generate a transcriptional regulatory network describing the ethylene signal
transduction pathway.
