Among the 65 scientists named fellows of the American Academy of Microbiology (AAM) earlier this year is Integrated Program in Biochemistry (IPiB) professor James Keck (Department of Biomolecular Chemistry), who is also Associate Dean for Basic Research Training in the School of Medicine and Public Health.
Keck probes the structural mechanisms behind DNA replication, replication restart, recombination and repair reactions. His research melds structural approaches with biochemical and cell biological methods to address basic structure–function issues in genome biology.
This year’s honorees join more than 2,600 AAM fellows.
