We study the molecular mechanisms by which extrachromosomal
DNA elements maintain themselves stably and at relatively high copy numbers without endangering their host organisms. The model system we employ i...

Three polymerases and a molecular motor: In projects related to AIDS, we examine HIV reverse transcriptase mechanism, its resistance to nucleoside analogs, and characterization
of novel nonnucleoside inhibitor...
Arlen Johnson Associate Professor In Molecular Genetics & Microbiology
My lab studies ribosome export and mRNA degradation
in yeast. We use techniques spanning genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry and proteomics. Recently, we identified the nuclear export pathw...

Research in my laboratory is primarily directed towards understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of synaptic integration and long-term plasticity of neurons in the medial temporal lobe. We have ...
My lab focuses on understanding the biochemical/molecular mechanisms underlying reduced immune function
in aging. We primarily focus on identifying signaling pathways which may lead to changes in lipid metabol...
