I finished my Ph.D. with Maria Zannis-Hadjopoulos in McGill University where I co-discovered nucleosome assembly protein 2 (NAP-2). Sanford attracted me to come to Pittsburgh as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology. My research interests are in chromatin and the epigenetic control of chromatin associated processes.
