Michigan State University ­ Fisheries and Wildlife, 1991 B.S. Pennsylvania State University ­ Biology, Genetics emphasis RESEARCH INTERESTS: Investigating salmon reproduction   RESEARCH SUMMARY: Project leader for the Nez Perce Tribe, Department of Natural Resources Management for the Salmonid Gamete Preservation in the Snake River Basin. I supervise field collection of Chinook salmon and steelhead gametes; research techniques aimed at increasing the fertility of cryopreserved sperm and supervise the operation of germplasm repository.   REPRESENTATIVE PUBLICATIONS: Felip, A, W.P.
