I work in the Kreitman Lab at the University of Chicago. I learned about OpenWetWare from colleagues.

Education

 * 2006, PhD, University of Florida
 * 2000, MS, Florida Institute of Technology
 * 1986, BS, Texas A&M University

Research interests

 * 1) My research is focused on the trait of egg size and the developmental and evolutionary implications of shifts in per-offspring maternal investment.  I am currently researching robustness of early segmentation gene expression patterns in Drosophila embryos after selection for divergent egg size.
 * 2) I also have an ongoing project to identify QTL influencing the trait of egg size in Drosophila melanogaster.
