Research: I utilize Drosophila and cell culture to study the molecular mechanisms of aging.
I am particularly interested in two factors that have been shown to influence aging across
a variety of species, dietary restriction and the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway.
My goal is to further elucidate the genes and pathways that result in these factors' affect on aging.
