|Yuri Lyubchenko, Ph.D.|
Yuri Lyubchenko, Ph.D., professor of pharmaceutical science, has found a way to unravel the long DNA strand using an electrostatic charge and has captured that action on video. His discovery may lead to the successful application of gene therapy.
"It's important to study the interactions of proteins with DNA so we understand how numerous biological processes occur," he said. "We need to know how to make the genetic code more accessible to proteins so it will be easier to replace, repair or regulate a faulty gene."
