Research Focus
My
research interests lie in two general area; Biology education and plant tissue
culture as a teaching and research tool.
In the
area of Biology education, I am interested in developing and assessing
curriculum predominantly for the secondary level. Specific areas of interest are
environmental education, biotechnology, and developing plant tissue culture as
a teaching platform.
Beyond
tissue culture as a teaching platform, I am also utilizing tissue culture as a
research tool. Tissue culture
techniques generate quantities of plant material suitable for molecular as well
as micropropagation of regional endangered plants.
