- analysis of human disease-related triplet repeat sequences in Drosophila melanogaster
- molecular basis of chromosome structure and function
- ageing and oxidative stress in Drosophila melanogaster
- WRN helicase and ageing
- role of mitotic kinases in cell division
- identification of novel proteins involved in cell division
- control of the cell cycle in mammalian cells and Drosophila melanogaster.
