Teaching:: I am a member of the Advisory Committee for the Biological Chemistry program at Wellesley. In the spring of 2008, I will again co-teach the capstone course for majors, BIOC340.

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.

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.
