I’ve studied how a group of hormones known collectively as “steroids” affect gene expression in processes such as blood pressure, stress response and inflammation. My favorite hormones however are the reproductive hormones. These hormones regulate development and fertility.

Unfortunately I am not in the lab any more and I miss the hands on research sooooo much. Now I spend all of my time helping others do their active research. I advise others on their experiments, read papers and reports carry out analysis on results we and other have. The most important thing I am doing right now is writing grants to win more money for our lab to do even more research. This involves reading a lot of scientific papers and designing new experiments which prove our hypothesis.
