  I began working in the Pilon-Smits lab in early 1999 at the recommendation of another Biology faculty member. My research is primarily at the basic science end of things investigating copper homeostasis in plant chloroplasts.
    I was graduated from Indiana University in 1995, with a BS in Biology. I completed my MS in Botany at Colorado State and am continuing work on a Ph.D.

Some of my favorite web sites are:

Biotech-loads of biotechnology information, originally the work of Dr. Andy Ellington, my biochem professor at Indiana

Arabidopsis database-Arabidopsis genomics
National Center for Biotechnology Information
PNAS- Proceedings of the National Academy of Science online!
