RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our research has focused on venomous marine snails, in particular, those that belong to the genus Conus ("cone snails"). Cone snails are highly specialized venomous predators. The major research project in our laboratory is the discovery and characterization of their venom components, identification of their molecular targets, and an exploration of potential biomedical applications.
