Research Interests span fundamental aspects of cell cycle biology, including mitotic checkpoints, APC/C complex dynamics, and cyclin-dependent kinase regulation. His work has elucidated mechanisms in yeast that inform broader genetic stability and human disease contexts.

Publication Trends reveal a consistent focus on cell division mechanisms, particularly ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation in yeast and kinase activation processes. His recent work (2023-2024) expands into clinical translational research involving orthopedic surgery and thrombosis prevention.
