Research Interests

My research focuses on gene regulation at the transcriptional level, primarily by DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation. Because this regulation is important in many different normal and disease specific processes I have several projects in my laboratory and with collaborators that cover a broad range of fields. My major focus is cancer research, especially prostate cancer, with projects that examine the function of DNA modifications in gene regulation and how they may be disrupted in cancer. I am also interested in educational research and how to optimally teach integrated or pharmacogenomics courses to doctor of pharmacy students.
