Profile
I teach Chemistry, Biochemistry, and technical communication in the Bioresource and Bioenvironment course of the IUP. I also teach PBL, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and English in the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation.
I am Director of the IUP in Bioresource and Bioenvironment.
My research interest is in cytoskeletal proteins, particularly tubulin protein and the formation of microtubules. I am also interested in the proteins that interact with microtubules such as kinesin motor proteins and other microtubule associated proteins that alter microtubule dynamics.
