Welcome!

PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION

I am a scientist at The McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research where we do basic research on cancer.

I work on the genetics of mouse liver cancer. Using different strains of mice, I have mapped genes which increase the risk of cancer development in mice. Click here to learn more about how disease genes are mapped.

I am also a lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison . I teach Oncology 401: Introduction to Experimental Oncology.

My colleagues and I discuss educational issues during Issues in Life Science Education discussion group.

In addition to teaching at the university, I enjoy talking to students of all ages and teachers about HIV/AIDS and cancer.
