Single-molecule studies of cell polarity

Project Lead:
Description:

Cell polarity is a cell behavior in which one side of a cell adopts characteristics that are different from the other side. For example, our lungs, intestines and many other internal organs are made up of cells that…

Biochemical studies of DNA damage, mutations, and carcinogenesis

Project Lead:
Description:

The human genome is constantly attacked by endogenous and exogenous DNA-damaging agents. The Lee group seeks to understand the effects of DNA damage on DNA replication, mutations, and cancer development using…

Synthesis of Biomimetic Models of Mono-Iron Hydrogenase (Chemical Synthesis: Organic & Inorganic)

Project Lead:
Description:

Hydrogenase enzymes found in methanogenic bacteria utilize dihydrogen (H2) as an energy source for the eventual reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to sugars for use in cellular processes. Our lab's goal is to…
