Research Interests:
Primary research interests involve the regulation of differentiation and phenotype selection during development of embryonic skeletal muscle and nerve. In particular, the temporal and spatial signals involved in the assembly of intracellular calcium release systems and the subsequent role of calcium release events in regulating further differentiation of these tissues are being investigated.
