PREVIOUS RESEARCH ACTIVITIES:
1988 Graduate Research: Molecular genetics and biochemistry of Rhizobial lipopolysaccharide were investigated. Research techniques included recombinant DNA technology, bacterial genetics, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunoblotting, gas/liquid chromatography for sugar analysis, and light and electron microscopy to analyze nodule structure.
1991 Medical School Research: The molecular biology of endotoxin induced septic shock in a neonatal rat model was investigated. Using cDNA probes, the mRNA isolated from pancreatic islets encoding glucose transporter proteins was identified and quantified.
1999 Postdoctoral Research: Experiments were designed to study the molecular biology of the E. coli chemotaxis system. Protein purification techniques were employed to isolate chemotaxis signaling protein for crystallization. Additional experience was gained in expression vector systems, a minicell expression system for protein identification, and gel retardation assays to examine specific DNA-protein interactions. Experience with DNA footprinting techniques was also obtained.
07/2000 - 08/2006 Fellowship Research: Molecular biology of cardiac gene expression. Specifically, design of an in vivo model using rats to investigate regulatory sequences affecting alpha-myosin heavy chain gene expression. Co-investigator of multi-institutional study: A Phase IV Study of the Safety of Palivizumab (Synagis) for Prophylaxis of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Children with Congenital Heart Disease.
