I am an associate professor of biology at Vassar College where I teach an introductory
biology course titled The Biology of Pills, Potions and Poisons in addition to biochemistry and molecular biology. I
am very active in the interdepartmental program in biochemistry. When I first came to
the biology department my research interests were the molecular biology of
ribosomal RNA. In 1999 while on
sabbatical I did research in Dr. Linda Breeden's
Laboratory at The Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Research Center in Seattle, Washington where I leaned to work with the
budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
I play squash and try to keep fit through
non-contact boxing. Locally, I volunteer with Habitat
for Humanity. Anche parlo un po di Italiano e ho gli amici a l'Universita' di Camerino.
