Research:
I am currently working on multiple molecular biology projects in tomatoes related to bacterial wilt resistance, a novel transformation method efficiency, and gene expression of anthocyanins. I am also interested in breeding related to native plants like Groundnut (Apios americana), American Hogpeanut, and Paw Paw.
