Research Interests
Cyclic Nucleotide Regulation Cellular Differentiation
Cellular Control Mechanisms
My research interests have been centered around calmodulin and the synthetic
enzyme of cyclic AMP (adenylate cyclase) and the degradative enzyme
(cAMP phosphodiesterase.) This lab has also included a study of cyclic GMP
phosphodiesterase. My original work was in bovine brain tissue and the
research has been expanded to include the acellular slime mold Physarum.
