Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My research focus is on protein kinase regulation of primary cilia-mediated signaling, skin and hair follicle development, and epithelial tumor progression. My work has discovered novel roles of kinases in neural stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, primary cilia structure and signaling, hair follicle cycling, and basal cell carcinoma progression. How kinases achieve these diverse functions are an ongoing area of investigation.
