Teaching
Courses
PTX-7002: Journal Club/Special Topics: Genome Stability and Human Disease (Fall, Spring, Summer)
PTX-8007 Career Planning in Pharmacology and Toxicology (Fall in person; Spring/Summer online)
PTX-8020 Pharmacology and Toxicology of DNA Damaging Agents (Spring)
​
Master of Science in Pharmacology and Toxicology students wishing to carry out thesis research in my laboratory are strongly encouraged to take PTX7002 (Journal club: Genome Stability and Human Disease) and/or PTX8020 (Pharmacology and Toxicology of DNA Damaging Agents), which provide background contact and knowledge related to my research program.
Research Laboratory Training
Expectations
My laboratory provides training primarily to Pharm/Tox M.S. Thesis and Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. students, but other students at WSU are welcome to inquire about working in my laboratory. Students interested in learning specific techniques or carrying out research in my lab should review my lab's publications and research interests before contacting me. Under ideal circumstances, students will have a general idea about what they are interested in studying before joining the lab. Motivation and determination are key to becoming a successful scientist, and thus I expect students to work hard and be driven to achieve success.
​
Scientific research is expensive to carry out, and the process of obtaining funding for research is very competitive. Thus, I expect students to be mindful of the resources that they are using in my lab.

Laboratory Methods
Techniques used in my laboratory include cell culture, general cell and molecular biology, protein and DNA immunoblotting, quantitative PCR, and other approaches.
