Research Interests
My research focuses on how the RAS pathway regulates both cell proliferation and differentiation in Drosophila. I am particularly interested in the regulation of nuclear translocation of MAP kinase (a component of this signaling pathway), and what the effects of holding MAP kinase in the cytoplasm of cells (termed “Cytoplasmic Hold”) truly are.
