Paul Lawrence Modrich (born June 13, 1946) is an American biochemist, James B. Duke Professor of Biochemistry at Duke University and Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He is known for his research on DNA mismatch repair. Modrich received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2015, jointly with Aziz Sancar and Tomas Lindahl.
Paul Modrich is a distinguished professor emeritus of biochemistry at Duke University and a co-recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his studies of DNA repair. He and his lab have elucidated the mechanisms and functions of mismatch repair in bacteria and humans, and its role in cancer and chemotherapy.
This was a particularly exciting time at Stanford Biochemistry: the mechanisms responsible for initiation of DNA replication were being solved in Arthur Kornberg ‘s lab, and gene cloning methods were being developed in the laboratories of Dale Kaiser and Paul Berg.
9. Mai 2024 · Paul Modrich is an American biochemist who discovered mismatch repair, a mechanism by which cells detect and correct errors that are introduced into DNA during DNA replication and cell division. Modrich was among the first to show that a common form of inherited colorectal cancer is due to.
