My research has concerned rodent evolution, mammal phylogeny, evolutionary rates, gene and genome duplication, nuclear hormone receptors, and structural genomics. I am trained in experimental molecular biology, but have not touched a pipette since 1997. Your will find my present research interests on the webpage of my lab.
