	I study the regulation of spindle pole body duplication cycle by cyclin/Cdk in budding yeast; I am also a proponent for the application of homology modeling to rational site-directed mutagenesis of proteins; lastly, I am interested in all aspects of molecular motors, from their physical properties to their function and regulation in the context of the cell.
	What else do I do?

	See how well homology modeling works for the yeast kinesin Kar3 (in blue) compared with its crystal structures (in peach and pink). The core of the motor is practically spot on.
