BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our interest is in “clinically directed basic research” in the field of blood coagulation disorders. We have been developing zebrafish models of human clotting diseases using targeted mutagenesis with zinc finger nuclease (ZFN), transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN), and CRISPR/Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) endoribonuclease technology. Sensitized ENU mutagenesis and small molecule screens are currently being performed on zebrafish mutants to identify modifier loci.
