Some Info I am broadly trained in molecular and cell physiology, with a current emphasis on the molecular mechanisms supporting marine mammals use to modulate oxygen availability. My research experience includes tissue engineering, engineered bacterial circuits for immunotherapy, fieldwork in marine mammal physiology in Antarctica, and developing novel cell culture systems for use in non-model organisms.
