Graduate of UC Santa Barbara In Environmental Studies

Middle School Science Teacher

Mike defended my Ph.D. thesis on Aug. 26th 2005 and has relocated to Stanford University School of Medicine to do a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Anne Villeneuve. He will be studying chromosome organization during meiosis using the genetic model system C. elegans.

Attended the University of California Santa Cruz for one year before transferring to UC Santa Barbara. In 1997.

Graduated from UCSB with a B.S. in Microbiology and began work as a technician in a cancer research lab at the childrens hospital Los Angeles.

In 1999 attended graduate school and entered the biochemistrycell and molecular biology program that Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

"Since that time I have joined the laboratory of Dr. Katherine Wilson in the department of cell biology and have been working towards my Ph.D. My project consists of identifying and characterizing novel protein interactions with the nuclear lamins in hopes of better understanding how mutations in lamins cause the third most common form on muscular dystrophy (Emery Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy), Familial partial lypodystrophy (a puberty onset disease that results in the loss of subcutaneous fat) and Progeria (a disease that has been characterized in the public as a pre-mature aging syndrome). So as you can see I am keeping my self very busy and hope to complete my Ph.D in a little over a year from now. "
