I am interested in how signal transduction systems encode and transmit information, and how to quantitatively modify these behaviors. This involves measuring the details of system behavior, such as quantities of signaling intermediates, and using these data to inform models, varying in scope and resolution, of different aspects our primarily model eukaryotic signal transduction system, the yeast pheromone response system. I am developing and using tools to measure system activity, focusing on those that give data in single, live cells. I am also interested in higher-resolution molecular and structural details of the system components- both their structures and their interactions.
