Teaching:: I am a member of the Advisory Committee for the Biological Chemistry program at Wellesley.

Research: My lab group studies the structure, function, and regulation of peptidases.See the Wolfson Lab site for more information on publications and student projects.

I have been a workshop leader and consultant for Project Kaleidoscope and for AAC&U, a member of the editorial board of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, and on the advisory boards of an ADVANCE program and the Biology Scholars Writing Project, among others.

Personal: Away from work, I like to read (including as a subject specialist recording for the blind and dyslexic), do crossword puzzles, hike, and "chase" eclipses.
