Faculty Profile Last Modified Time: 12:01:54 PM Thu, 23 Apr 2020   Contact Information Yang Gao Associated Profiles  Assistant Professor, BioSciences, Rice University   BioScience Research Collaborative, Room No.: 723    yg60@rice.edu     713-348-2619    Web Link    DNA Replication, DNA Repair and Recombination, Cryo-Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Crystallography    Associated Profiles Professional Preparation Research and Expertise Affiliations Appointments  Professional Preparation  Degree Major Institution Year  PhD Biochemistry Iowa State University 2013  BS Molecular Biology University of Science and Technology of China 2007  Research and Expertise Research Interests   The Gao lab utilizes structural biology techniques to investigate the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication, repair and recombination. We employ cryo-electron microscopy, x-ray crystallography, and various biochemical and biophysical approaches to characterize how enzymes and motors work together to accomplish these elaborate processes, and how errors are generated during DNA replication and repair. The molecular mechanisms would help understand the origins of diseases-correlated abnormalities in DNA and identify paths and targets for disease treatment, in particular cancer.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Training Grants Houston Area Molecular Biophysics Training Program  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor BioSciences Rice University
