I am a cell and molecular biologist with interests in genetics, biochemistry, cancer biology, and science writing. Most of my research has been conducted using the budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) model system. I have investigated the role of [...]
I study the molecular mechanisms that control early development, using the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) as a model organism. I am particularly interested in understanding the molecular and genetic mechanisms used to silence mRNAs before they [...]
My research projects include: [...]
I am a plant physiologist. My research interests is on the role of the chloroplast in plant growth and development, focusing on plant responses to changing light environments. My work encompasses plant responses to light at multiple levels – from [...]
In my own research, I continue to investigate animal adaptations to their environments and couch many of my studies within Conservation Biology. By coupling physiological to ecological studies, I am able to test competitive interactions among species [...]

Campus Commencement Experience Session 6
Zakery Dabbagh ’24 was busy this summer. The first-year biology major not only attended classes but also tutored local school children as part of the pilot Woo-Labs network. With luck, and help from Dabbagh, the students’ “summer slide” won’t keep them back. When COVID-19 hit, many institutions in the Worcester community joined in an effort […]
Zoe Krouner ’21, an environmental science major who will graduate in December, doesn’t clam up when it comes to sifting through pond muck looking for invasive species. On a recent field trip at Patch Reservoir near the Worcester State campus, Krouner beached her canoe on a shrub-covered island, donned hip waders, and eagerly dug into […]
A new agreement between Worcester State University and the Greater Worcester Land Trust means students and faculty will have easier access to Patch Reservoir for water-quality research and other educational endeavors. The recently signed memorandum of understanding benefits Worcester State’s academic efforts while helping the land trust fulfill its mission of partnering with local academic […]
