Research Interests:

My current research focus is on understanding signaling pathways involved in metal(oid) metabolism in plants.  In particular, I am interested in nonessential elements, such as cadmium and arsenic that are of concern to human health and are listed on the EPA Superfund's top 7 priority list of hazardous substances (see CERCLA).  My work involves evaluating previously identified mutants that have a misregulated response to the heavy metal cadmium.  To evaluate these mutants, I use both genomic and proteomic tools.  This approach will help to identify novel regulatory networks that may aid in increasing plant heavy metal uptake for phytoremediation purposes, or in decreasing heavy metal uptake in agronomic plants to limit human exposure. 

Publicaions:

Coming soon (I hope)!!!
