Research Statement

My research involves the study of mouse eggs, which have many genetic similarities to humans, and the biochemical mechanisms that transform an egg to an early embryo. The understanding of these mechanisms will help other scientists better understand the potential and/or limitations of stem cell research, the cause of some birth defects and the signaling changes that result in cancer.
