Research

Laboratory: Lab 3315 Anthony Hall

My research program includes both education and genetics specific research. My education research interests include student knowledge transfer (what concepts students retain from year to year and/or what techniques can be used to better transfer) and overall curriculum development/alignment. I am a trained geneticist and focus on genetic variations and small-noncoding RNAs associated with disease in production animals.
