Research Interests
Work in my laboratory explores the dynamic chromosome events that occur during the process of meiosis and how they are integrated to achieve accurate chromosome segregation. Chromosome missegregation is one of the leading causes of birth defects and pregnancy loss in humans. We combine the use of a wide array of tools, including genetics, molecular biology, and live-cell imaging using budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and zebrafish Danio rerio as a model system.
