Research Interests
Bob McKinnell spent his scientific career studying the Lucke renal adenocarcinoma, its herpesvirus (RaHV-1) and the competence of its genome to promote normal differentiation as studied with nuclear transplantation (cloning). He has also maintained a long term interest in the prevalence and distribution of two pigment pattern mutants of the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens.
