DNA Mismatch, Repair, Replication and Recombination: What Have We Learned
Lyle Simmons, Professor, U of M
In this presentation, Dr. Simmons will
discuss the DNA mismatch repair pathway. This is a process that finds and corrects errors in the DNA sequence.
Dr. Simmons is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan. He received a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Michigan State University. Professor Simmons’ research focuses on studies of mismatch repair, DNA replication, homologous recombination and the interplay between these pathways. His research broadly impacts how we understand the fundamental processes that generate mutation and genomic rearrangements in biological systems.
This is the third lecture in the series of nine Distinguished Lectures.
The next lecture in the series will be December 8, 2015. The title is:
What We Think, What We Know, And What We Do Not Know About False Criminal Convictions.
