Betsy at University of California, Berkeley

Betsy joined the lab of Michael J. Chamberlin, a biochemist and molecular biologist in the University of California, Berkeley. With an NIH training grant, Betsy worked in the virology lab named after 1946 Chemistry Nobel Laureate Wendell M. Stanley, where she learned how to isolate and purify enzymes. The skill positioned her to investigate closely the photoreactivating enzyme involved in DNA repair in eukaryotes, which are more complex than bacteria.
