Research Interests

Our lab is interested in how bacteria monitor and coordinate cell cycle events. We are focused on identifying and characterizing signal transduction pathways used by the bacterium Bacillus subtilis to regulate cell cycle progression and development in response to chromosome status. Our goal is to understand how these pathways work mechanistically and how they contribute to normal growth, development, and genome stability.
