Any curious and interested students are invited to stop by and discuss doing research my lab. Your background is less important to me than your attitude and desire to learn.

Lab work is highly orientated in the fields of microbiology and biophysical chemistry, so a background in those areas may prove useful. Visit the Research page to see if current research efforts interest you!
