I’d like to find a cure to epilepsy. Lots of kids have it and it’s really a bad thing to have. Treatments now are guess-work: try one thing, if it doesn’t work, try another and so on. Sometimes nothing works.

I’d like to find a cure to skin cancer- melanoma. There are 7 different types of melanoma and we think we have found a cure for part of one subtype. We have lots more to do but our strategy seems to be working so we will keep trying!

I would love to discover how genes get preserved in our genome after they duplicate themselves. When there’re two copies of them, one should be redundant and get lost. However, they survived! I’m so curious about how.

I would like to discover genes that might impact human behaviors and develop models to incorporate genetic and environmental factors to predict responses to environment.

If I could discover any thing in the whole wide world…….it would probably be a way to solve hunger. No one has to stress about food ever again! But, that is not what I study. So realistically, through my research I want to discover novel ways of understanding disorders like depression and to discover new treatments that help people recover from depression.
