Biography
James D. Watson Professor Emeritus of Oncology Emeritus Program Member - UW Carbone Cancer Center Protein Biochemistry Protein Purification Sigma Factor Therapeutic Antibodies B.S., 1964, Chemistry, California Institute of Technology Ph.D., 1969, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Harvard University Postdoctoral research: Laboratory of Alfred Tissieres, University of Geneva, Switzerland Work in his laboratory is focused on prokaryotic and eukaryotic RNA polymerases and transcription machinery and their role in regulation of RNA synthesis. In particular, they study the structure and function of the initiation factor, E. coli RNA polymerase sigma70 subunit, by a concerted use of protein and physical chemistry, monoclonal antibodies, molecular genetics, and biochemistry.
Research Interest
prokaryotic and eukaryotic RNA polymerases and transcription machinery and their role in regulation of RNA synthesis.
