I am a molecular geneticist whose principal expertise and research interests are in the area of metal transport and regulation of gene expression by metals.  For most of the world, plants are the major point of entry for metals into the food chain, so work in our lab is laying the foundation for crops that offer sustainable solutions for malnutrition and for decreasing exposure to toxic metals.
