Research Interests
My research lab is now involved in several projects, all of which examine aspects of peptidoglycan metabolism, spore biology, or both, in Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus anthracis, and Clostridium perfringens. Details can be found on my Research page.Other things I do when I'm not in the lab: Kids' soccer games and swim meets, tearing apart the house and putting it (mostly) back together, playing a steel drum, running, biking, hiking, camping, skiing.
