Brittani Schnable

Research Interests:

Research interests: The Van Houten lab uses a single molecule approach to study DNA repair proteins. I will use a combination of biochemistry, single molecule fluorescence microscopy, atomic force microscopy, STED, and single particle tracking. I will study UV-DDB, glycosylases and their interactions with other repair proteins at 3 different levels: purified proteins, nuclear extracts and whole cells.
