Welcome to UCSD! I am a Professor of Biology and Director of Undergraduate Education in the Division of Biological Sciences. I am also a maize geneticist. I have taught BICD 100 Genetics to UCSD undergraduates for almost 20 years (including hundreds of transfer students), and am delighted to be bringing back for Summer Academy 2016 BICD 101 Eukaryotic Genetics Lab, which I also taught 2001-2009. Summer Academy students taking BICD 101 with me will be participating in my NSF-funded research project entitled "Genomic Analysis of Leaf Cuticle Development and Functional Diversity in Maize”. I am excited to work with the class with this project - your contributions will be very important!
