Current Research
My current research interests focus on
understanding the contribution of the cytochrome P450 gene family to
insecticide resistance, and the roles of cytochrome P450s in insect
development. Cytochrome P450s are a rapidly evolving gene family, encoding
proteins capable of performing many different chemical reactions. Working
mostly with Drosophila melanogaster, I am involved in projects
determining which members of this gene family have the potential to confer
resistance to insecticides, how cytochrome P450s are regulated, the expression
patterns of cytochrome P450s, and the roles of cytochrome P450s in insect
development.
