I am currently studying the host-parasite interactions of salmonids and sea lice (''Lepeophtheirus salmonis'') at an physiological and molecular level. Mainly using gene expression tools, I am trying to understand what leads to the diverse sensitivity ranges among salmonids (both of different species and of different host development stages). Tools: microarray (oligo and cDNA), qRT-PCR (SYBR) and immunoassays.
My main interests involve studying external influences on gene transcription using systems-based tools. I am also interested in the use of this data to infer physiological responses and ecological consequences of the influences.  


In addition, I am using microarrays and other expression technology to investigate the transcriptional response of ''Lepeophtheirus salmonis'' to a varying environmental salinity or temperature. This is important to understanding how free-swimming stages are effected by varying oceanic conditions.

Research

My main interests involve studying external influences on gene transcription using systems-based tools. I am also interested in the use of this data to infer physiological responses and ecological consequences of the influences.

The main model that I am studying involves the host-parasite interactions of salmon and sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) at a physiological and molecular level. Mainly through transcriptomic investigation, I am trying to understand the mechanisms behind varying sensitivity to sea lice infections.

Additionally, I am investigating transcriptional responses of sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis to environmentally-relevent disturbances.

Identifying creative new ways to interpret large data sets is also of interest to me.

Currently Applying: microarrays (oligo and cDNA), relative quantitative real-time PCR, and immunoassays.
