Research interests

My research aims to identify the genetic changes responsible for phenotypic differences within and between species and to understand how these changes impact development.  I am particularly interested in molecular mechanisms that regulate gene expression and how they evolve. Current research examines patterns of regulatory evolution on a genomic scale and investigates the specific genetic changes that contribute to pigmentation evolution in Drosophila. Methods from population and quantitative genetics, developmental biology, bioinformatics and genomics are combined in this work.
