Research Interests

My primary objectives are to understand: the biogenesis, structure, and regulation of expression of chromaffin granule membrane proteins, including synaptotagmin; the biogenic amine transporter; the vacuolar ATPase; the physiology and molecular genetics of histoplasma capsulatum. In addition, I am involved in the development of science curricula in the Cincinnati public schools, currently using the vacuolar ATPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system for teaching modern molecular genetic c...
