Biology
My research interests focus on the neurobiology of sensory systems. The
vertebrate taste bud is used as a model for studying interactions between
a sensory system and the central nervous system. Other interests include
the development of technologies for imaging and reconstructing biological
structures in three dimensions. Techniques include electron microscopy,
high-voltage electron microscopy, immunocytochemistry, structure-function
correlations, and computer-assisted 3-D reconstructions.
