Research Interests:
Current areas of research include:
1)  Isolating catabolite modulator factor (CMF), a global gene regulatory small molecule (molecular mass < 1000g) that is heat stable from the E. coli. When CMF is added to cultures of E. coli, it antagonizes the effect of cAMP on gene expression.
2)  Improving the efficiency of electroporation of E. coli.  We previously have been able to increase the transformation efficiency to 7% of cells, a 20-fold increase over untreated cells.
