I teach in several courses within MSU's Biology department such as Cell Biology, Neurobiology, and Human Physiology. In addition, I maintain an active research laboratory (employing a number of students) that investigates polyglutamine containing proteins- which are of interest because of their relationship to a group of severe neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's Disease. Using standard cell and molecular biology techniques, my students and I are elucidating the function of a novel polyglutamine protein (KIAA1946) as well as the putative consequence of normal polyQ variation.
