Research Interests

Utilizing molecular biology and muscle cell culture methodologies to study the regulation of muscle growth during embryonic and postnatal growth of economically-important animals, currently focusing on the two research areas: 1) Mechanism of Action of Anabolic Steroid Growth Promoters, 2) Role of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Proteins in Growth and Differentiation of Pig Muscle Cells.
