Welcome
Welcome
Welcome to my website. I am a PhD candidate at The University of Iowa with a focus on mutagenesis during meiotic DNA repair and recombination. My current research investigates mechanisms creating hypermutable single-stranded DNA in meiosis of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with the goal of advancing our understanding of genomic stability, disease and evolution. My broader work includes developing algorithms and pipelines for genomic analysis, studying DNA double strand break (DSB) repair and mutagenesis in both yeast and cancer. Please feel free to explore my research and publications.
