Research Interests

I am currently involved in two different studies to examine glaucoma causing genes. The first study involves mutation screening of glaucoma genes in particular the LMX1B gene. The second project involves the growth of human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells, in tissue culture, to study the expression of many genes using microarray technology.

Education

1984-1988 University of Michigan-Dearborn, Dearborn, Michigan. Bachelor of Science in Microbiology.
