I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The University of South Florida with a focus in cellular & molecular biology. I truly enjoy learing, teaching and researching biology.

My research background inludes:
• Drug resistance & cancer biology
• Mitochondrial function & Alzheimer’s
• Dioxin receptors & toxicology. 

I developed a cellular and molecular research core facility that provided:
• Confocal Microscopy
• Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting
• Microarray
• Microinjection

I have a strong background in c. elegans biology and murine models as well.

You can find some of my research articles here.

When I’m not teaching I’m a father of 3 young boys who loves baseball. Go Titans!
