Crystallography
Dr. Borgstahl
has been primarily interested in studying the macromolecules essential to
the maintenance and replication of DNA. Survival and normal growth of
cells rely on the basic processes of DNA metabolism. The entire genome
must be replicated reliably every cell cycle and any defect must be
corrected. Borgstahl performs basic research on the protein-DNA and
protein-protein interactions that govern DNA metabolic processes.
Dr. Borgstahl is an associate professor at Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. She was a postdoctoral fellow at The Scripps Research Institute and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Before coming to UNMC in 2002, she was assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Toledo.
In these audio clips, Dr. Borgstahl explains:
- Why she enjoys crystallography.
- What she's trying to accomplish with her research.
- How crystallography contributed to understanding the structure of DNA.
- What she's learned from others.
- Why she enjoys her colleagues from the Midwest.
