The phytochemical landscape of sodium
I'm interested in describing what is the phytochemical landscape of sodium across variable soilscapes. I focus on the genus Helianthus because of the large distribution this genus has across the conterminous United States.
Scanning Electron Microscopy
Building upon work done by a former lab colleague, I have developed a powerful tool for use in the identification and characterization of the processes in my model system. A major advantage of this development is its improved sensitivity, which allows it to detect subtle dynamic property changes in response to my experimental setup.
Cell Culture
We still have only a very limited understanding of Cell Culture. Answering questions about this is essential for understanding the mechanistic role it plays on other scientific processes, and for developing tools to further explore this research avenue with more sensitive measurements and improved data collection.
