The lecture, titled “DNA Structure-Induced Genetic Instability and Cancer,” will take place May 12, 2016, at 4 p.m. in the first floor auditorium of the Medical Sciences Building on USA’s main campus.
Dr. Vasquez earned her Ph.D. in biochemistry from the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. She completed postdoctoral training at Yale University School of Medicine in the department of therapeutic radiology.
The primary focus of Dr. Vasquez’s laboratory includes three areas of research: DNA structure in genomic instability and human disease, molecular mechanisms of DNA damage recognition and repair, and novel strategies to modify gene structure and function in living organisms.
