Expertise
My current research has been concentrating on the characterization of genetic structure of small mammal and South Florida slash pine populations in South Florida. A series of modern molecular techniques, such as DNA sequencing, PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), genotyping, etc. are applied in this project. The purpose of thess studies are to identify polymorphic genetic loci, and to utilize these loci to accurately characterize the population structure and the gene flow pattern of these species. Environmental impacts on the population dynamic for these native species could be illustrated at gene level. Based on this information, a series of project to preserve and restore such natural population can be implemented. Even though, my current research focuses on population genetics, I also have an extensive interest in molecular biology research
