TGF-beta may be very important in controlling mammary growth in young animals and may also be involved in control of the dry period in lactating cows. TGF-beta may additionally be important in breast cancer. It is believed that the mammary gland may not be able to respond to TGF-beta and then continues to grow, causing a tumor.

He focuses on ecosystem responses to events that upset the ecological status quo, and dynamics of ecotones, especially stream corridors and roads. Current research initiatives examine: how wide riparian zones need to be to conserve plant and animal populations; ways by which riparian zones might be managed to protect streams from upslope pollutants; and how roads (abandoned and active) impact the surrounding and future forest. He is completing a detailed demographic analysis of sugar maple growing at the limits of its ecological range as a possible way of predicting effects of climatic/atmospheric change on forest ecosystems.

One of her research areas is study of a family of proline-rich cell wall proteins in Arabidopsis (AtPRPs) whose function is involved in tailoring the structure of the plant cell wall in root hairs and stomata. She used gene fusions in transgenic plants to show that AtPRPs is limited to these cell types and is linked to factors that control cell growth.
