Research Interests Genetic basis of morphological evolution using the vertebrate dentition as a model system. Comparative analysis of gene action in tooth development of several species of teleost fishes (including the zebrafish) to investigate mechanisms of evolutionary change in tooth shape, location, and number. Additional interests include evolution of multi-gene families and phylogeny of fishes.
