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.

I will start querying for some dehydratase or dehydroxylase and look if some of them work on aromatic groups.
