Overview
Brooks Crickard is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics.
Research Focus
The research focus of the Crickard laboratory is to understand the mechanisms by which enzymes function to maintain genetic information stored in chromosomes. Projects in the laboratory focus on DNA strand invasion and strand exchange during the process of homologous recombination. A universally conserved pathway organisms use to maintain their chromosomes. Our laboratory uses a combination of biochemical, biophysical, and genetic approaches as we seek to develop high resolution models.
