Job Title: Retrovirus Models in Yeast, Dr. Henry Levin
Description:

Henry L. Levin, Ph.D. (Henry_Levin@nih.gov)

LTR-retrotransposons are close relatives of retroviruses that can be readily studied in model organisms such as yeast. We use molecular and genetic techniques to study the function of Tf1, a highly active retrotransposon of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Current projects focus on the mechanisms of integration. Our Web page is http://eclipse.nichd.nih.gov/nichd/lgrd/sete/.

The NICHD was initially established to investigate the broad aspects of human development as a means of understanding developmental disabilities, including mental retardation, and the events that occur during pregnancy. Today, the Institute conducts and supports research on all stages of human development, from preconception to adulthood, to better understand the health of children, adults, families, and communities.
