Publications


Most of my publications have been in the area of invertebrate and mammalian physiology. Since I started teaching, I have become interested in aspects of molecular biology as this research is much easier to interweave with the high teaching loads. I have participated in several workshops in Molecular Biology and have done bench work at Oschner Medical and LSU Medical in New Orleans.

The following represents a sample of recent and past publications and research work.
