Brief bio: I completed my PhD studies with Dr. Ursula W. Goodenough on sex determination in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. As a postdoc I worked on Chlamydomonas cilia and nicotinamide metabolism with Dr. Susan K. Dutcher. My current research focuses on developing new methods based on next generation sequencing to identify causative mutations from multiple cilia and basal body mutants and performing functional characterization of these mutants.
