Kenneth Breslauer is the Linus C. Pauling professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University. He is also Dean of Life Sciences since 1995 and Vice President for Health Science Partnerships since 2005.〔(Faculty Profile of Kenneth Breslauer )〕 〔(New VP for Health Science Partnerships at Rutgers, Office for Media Relation website )〕 Kenneth Breslauer’s research focuses on defining and characterizing the molecular forces that control communication between biological molecules, particularly those interactions that modulate and control gene expression, DNA damage repair, mutagenesis, and drug binding. ==Research== Breslauer determined a DNA database that allows one to energetically map genome sequence information so as to correlate regions of differential stabilities with regions of differential biological functions.〔(Breslauer Named Rutgers VP for Health Science Partnerships )〕 The database and its extensions also have been used to design probes and drugs with predictable hybridization and binding properties, a capability key to various diagnostic and therapeutic protocols. Breslauer has mapped the energetic consequences of DNA damage, knowledge critical to understanding the mechanisms of DNA repair, including why certain mutations escape repair and result in cancer. Most recently, Breslauer has elucidated the significance of metastable states within the rough energy landscapes of DNA molecules, information critical to our understanding of the molecular origins of triple repeat diseases, such as Huntington's disease and fragile X syndrome. Breslauer is the Executive Editor of Biopolymers,〔(The Editorial Board of Biopolymers )〕 a major journal in his field, and is founding editor of Nucleic Acid Sciences.〔(Nucleic Acid Sciences )〕 He also serves on numerous scientific advisory boards, including those associated with the Cancer Institute of New Jersey,〔(The Cancer Institute of New Jersey )〕 the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine,〔(the CABM Advisors )〕 as well as federal funding agency study sections. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenneth Breslauer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
