My research includes in vivo two-photon imaging of structure and function to study how song circuits are organized and how they change during the song learning process.

My research interests include lipidomics, enzymology, drug discovery, and bioanalytical chemistry in the relation to ocular biochemistry, biophysics, and physiology. 

In prior work, my laboratory focused on identifying novel mechanisms of therapy-resistance and progression in breast, prostate and ovarian cancer. 

The major interest of my lab is to understand the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms involved in human diseases with a focus on cardiovascular diseases and cancer. 

Research in my laboratory focuses on better understanding the molecules and mechanisms that assemble axonal connections with a goal of utilizing this knowledge to encourage axons to reestablish their connections after trauma or disease.

When I became a postdoctoral fellow, I switched my research focus from insects to rodents. I began measuring electrical activity, intracellular calcium, ATP, cAMP, and neuropeptides from the pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).

My research interests include prevention of progression of renal diseases, diagnoses, and management of lipid disorders in renal disease, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, the role of angiotensin II converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor blockers in renal disease. 

My lab has a long-time interest in understanding the mechanisms of transcription and gene regulation in mammalian cells using initially cell-free systems reconstituted with purified gene-specific transcription factors, general cofactors, and components of the general transcription machinery to recapitulate

My laboratory uses several techniques to study the brain circuits involved in this type of learning.

This fascination has fueled my interest in learning about circadian rhythms for more than a quarter of a century.
