PhD in Pharmacology. My pet molecules are called nuclear receptors and I do research with them studying the relationships between nutritional messengers and gene expression. My preferred technique is bioluminescence imaging, and I love to use it with new reporter gene approaches.

Nov 1	comment	Is there any biological reason that professional swimming is dominated by white people? +1 the question is not racist, but I suggest to edit the question and replace 'race' with 'phenotype'.
