I am a senior staff biomedical scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the division of Biology and Biotechnology. I am also adjunct professor in the department of Radiation Oncology at the University of California at Davis. I have authored over 120 publications in peer-reviewed journals, published proceedings and book chapters covering a diverse breadth of molecular biology and biochemistry. My major areas of research focus are in the area of radiobiology in support of cancer treatment and biodosimetry. My group has also been very active in the development of biotechnology and advance biochemical techniques around the areas of cell-free expression, membrane proteins and nanoparticles made of apolipoproteins called nanolipoprotein particles (NLPs).
