Louise Clarke Professor Emeritus and Research Professor, MCDB |
|
Dr. Clarke received her B.A. in Biochemistry from Smith College and her Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1973. Her doctoral research was in the field of transfer RNA biochemistry and genetics. She was an American Cancer Society junior postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Francisco in 1973-74, where she studied the mechanism of replication of Rous sarcoma virus. Upon returning to UCSB in 1975, in collaboration with John Carbon, she developed techniques for establishing genomic DNA libraries and identifying specific genes from bacteria and yeast. These studies led in 1980 to the first isolation and characterization of functional centromere DNA. More recently her research has involved structural and functional analyses of the centromeric regions of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Dr. Clarke was a Research Biologist from 1975-1990, and joined the UCSB faculty in July, 1990. She served as Director of the Interdepartmental Program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from 1995-1998. Contact Information
