Research Interests
The scientific efforts are directed toward deciphering higher order chromosome structure, an unsolved problem, using Drosophila as a model system. Interestingly, those studies have required development, in collaboration with his colleague, David Agard, of several microscope systems, both optical and electron microscopic, to adequately visualize and quantitate the intricate chromosomal organization. The microscope system development continues.
