Speciality
Plant molecular biology

Education
1987-1993, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison, Program in Cell and Molecular Biology.
Advisor: Dr. Kenneth Keegstra
Thesis: Specificity of a Chloroplastic Protein Transport Apparatus and Identification of Selected Components.

1983-1987, B.S., University of Michigan-Dearborn
Advisor: Dr. Charlotte Otto
Major: Biochemistry

My lab uses biochemical and molecular approaches to isolate genes regulated by AGL15, a member of the MADS-domain family of proteins that preferentially accumulates in developing embryos, and to understand how AGL15 controls gene expression. This is an initial step in my program's long-term research interests in regulatory networks active during seed development and during somatic embryogenesis.
