My interests include studies of cell-cell interactions during embryonic development and of cell adhesion molecules (CAMS) and their transcriptional regulation; studies of the molecular genetics of connectional defects in the nervous system; analysis of the control of cell division cycle and of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells; development of cell fractionation procedures; analysis of the three-dimensional structure and sequence of proteins; and theoretical work on the organization of higher brain functions and on the construction of non-von Neumann machines and recognition automata.
