Degrees
BSc (University of New Brunswick)
MSc (Memorial University of Newfoundland)
PhD (Memorial University of Newfoundland)
Research Interests
1. Determine how insect blood cells recognize foreign materials and transmit this information to the insect of the blood cell
2. Look at the means that selected types of nematodes interact with insect resistance to select for pathogens that can overcome the resistance killing the insect. This will be sued in controlling lawn damage induced by the insects.
Current Research
GTPases and hemocyte adhesion to foreign bacterial surfaces
