Biology Colloquium
Monday, December 4, 2006

Dr. Michael Lichten
Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for the National  
Cancer Institute
"Where, When and How Meiotic Crossovers Happen"

32-123 Stata Center Auditorium
4pm (refreshments at 3:30)
Hosted by Dr. Angelika Amon

Dr. Michael Lichten is a research microbiologist in the Microbial  
Genetics and Biochemistry Section of this laboratory. He received his  
Ph.D. in 1982 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and  
received his research training with Dr. Maurice S. Fox and Dr. James  
E. Haber. He joined this laboratory as a senior staff fellow in 1987,  
became a senior investigator in 1995, and became a member of the  
Senior Biomedical Research Service in 2000.

Research
Mechanism and Control of Meiotic Recombination
Dr. Lichten studies genetic recombination and chromosome structural  
changes that occur during meiosis and DNA damage repair, using  
budding yeast as a model system. His goal is a description of the  
molecular steps of meiotic recombination, and how these molecular  
events integrate with the changes in chromosome structure and with  
the cell cycle transitions that occur during meiosis and during the  
mitotic cell cycle.
