Waldman, Alan
Professor
Our laboratory group is interested in elucidating the mechanisms of homologous recombination (the exchange of genetic information between two similar DNA sequences) in mammalian cells. A primary area that we have focused on is the issue of just how similar two chromosomal sequences must be in order to be recombined.
