3. Spring 2011 (for OSU research credits) - from March 2010:
Advisor: Professor C. Bell, Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Dept
Research: Single-stranded annealing proteins (SSA) bind to single-stranded
DNA (ssDNA)
and are involved in pairing homologous DNA and double-stranded breaks. The
RecT protein from Escherichia coli binds to ssDNA and is involved in
recombination and in promoting the annealing of complimentary DNA strands.
For all eukaryotes, Rad52, a 400 residue protein, promotes the same reactions
as RecT and $\beta$, and is involved in DNA repair, synthesis and multiple
DNA repair pathways. Cells and DNA have mechanisms to repair mutations;
however, failure to do this may lead to cancer. Therefore, it is important
to understand how the DNA repair processes of RecT and $\beta$ work so that
such mistakes can be prevented. Although, through many studies, some
functions of these proteins have been revealed, the structures of RecT
and $\beta$β protein has not been solved. This study aims to determine
experimentally the mechanism by which SSA proteins bind to ssDNA and
promote the annealing of complimentary DNA. The purpose of this study is
to study how proteins recognize and repair damaged sites of DNA in cells.
We use x-ray crystallography and diffraction to solve the three-dimensional
atomic structure of RecT and $\beta$ protein in complex with DNA substrates.

Research: "Crystallization of Single
Stranded Annealing Proteins in a DNA Complex"
"Study of cervial cancer using MRI": MRI was used to monitor tumor regression
and predict the radiation therapy (RT) outcome. I collected data of tumor
volume and dosimetry from MRI scans before, during, and after RT of 35
patients and recorded into Microsoft Excel for fast data analysis. A kinetic
model was used to describe tumor response to RT. The model incorporated
three major effects (radiation cell killing, dead-cell resolving, and tumor
repopulation) and was used to analyze the tumor regression data. The model
parameters derived for individual patients correlated with therapy outcome.
New methods based on current findings can be used to predict clinical outcome
and adaptive therapy can be adopted for patients at risk of treatment failure
