Ph.D., 1992, Medical University of South Carolina
Research emphasis: Functional genomics of toxic dinoflagellates; effects of algal toxins on marine mammals and human consumers
Current research projects:
- marine algal toxins: toxin mode of action; toxin detection methods, toxin impacts on living marine resources
- growth regulation in toxic marine dinoflagellates: cell cycle control, intracellular signaling pathways in dinoflagellates, circadian regulation of gene expression
