Dr. Kornberg's Laboratory

Dr. Kornberg's Laboratory specializes in studying how DNA, the genetic material in cells, is replicated and repaired. Their research helps uncover the detailed processes cells use to copy their DNA accurately, which is essential for growth, development, and maintaining health. By understanding these mechanisms, the lab aims to contribute to advancements in medicine, such as cancer treatment and genetic disorders, and to deepen our fundamental knowledge of cellular biology. The work often involves sophisticated experiments to observe molecular interactions and identify the enzymes and proteins involved in DNA-related processes.
