RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Developing methods for gene delivery to cells for three purposes: (1) conferring new traits, (2) tagging genes for determining their functions, and (3) site-specific recombination to inactivate expression of specific genes. For the first two goals we made a transposon vector (Sleeping Beauty) that is useful for insertional mutagenesis, gene tagging, and enhancer/gene/poly(A) trapping as well as transgenesis. The current lab efforts are directed to enhancing the activities of the SB Transposon system for gene delivery to mammals and fish as well as for insertional mutagenesis/gene-tagging.
