- Active learning facilitates teaching non-majors biology
-
2006 project
-
As a teacher, my pedagogical approach incorporates a mixture of traditional lectures, active learning, online learning activities, directed field activities, student-lead discussions, plus active learning exercises involving hypothesis testing,...
- An intellectual biography of Nobel-prize winner Barbara McClintock
-
1996 project
-
Barbara McClintock's work has been highly influential in modern genetics, because she showed that genetic material could move easily from one chromosome to another and even from one organism to another of a very different kind. We now know that such...
- Analyses of biochemical and genetic interactions of ABC transporters required for heavy metal detoxification in C. elegans
-
2006 project
-
Among the cellular mechanisms of heavy metal detoxification that are emerging, recent studies show that members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family are major contributors to, and are essential in, heavy metal detoxification. The...
- Analysis and manipulation of plant senescence for improving horticultural, agronomic, and bioenergy production
-
2007 project
-
Our research has revealed a universal mechanism by which crops and other plants regulate the senescence processes. Briefly, we have identified a master regulator of senescence, and based on this discovery, we have developed a technology for...

- Associate editor of a new journal: Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research
-
2007 project
-
I am serving as associate editor of a new journal, Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research (Routledge). \n\nJournal of Natural Resources Policy Research publishes original policy-oriented papers, addressing a broad range of natural resource...
- Asymmetric cell division and cell polarity in embryonic development
-
1991 project
-
Asymmetric cell division is a major mechanism that organisms use to generate cells with different properties and is a major way that stem cells function. The goal of this project is to understand the mechanistic basis of asymmetric cell division and...
- Bacterial environment determines how they move
-
2007 – 2015 project
-
Bacteria respond to their surrounding environments by expressing different behaviors such as motility and causing disease. We have identified a number of different regulatory systems that are directly associated with perceiving chemical signals that...
- Bioactive fatty acids in milk fat and their role in the prevention of chronic diseases
-
2007 – 2010 project
-
Consumers are increasingly aware that foods contain components that have bioactivity beyond that associated with simply providing nutrient value. We have investigated two bioactive fatty acids, vaccenic acid (trans-11 18:1) and rumenic acid (cis-9,...
