Research focused on Genetics and Human fertilization, with related work in Sperm, Drosophila (subgenus), Meiosis. Notable publications include 'Transgenerational Propagation and Quantitative Maintenance of Paternal Centromeres Depends on Cid/Cenp-A Presence in Drosophila Sperm', 'Rapid evolution of a Y-chromosome heterochromatin protein underlies sex chromosome meiotic drive', and 'The hpRNA/RNAi Pathway Is Essential to Resolve Intragenomic Conflict in the Drosophila Male Germline'.
