Dr. Stephanie Corrette-Bennett, a biology mobile educator for Westminster College's Science in Motion program, had her research published online in the December issue of Nucleic Acids Research.
"The article, DNA Polymerase, RFC and PCNA are Required for Repair Synthesis of Large Looped Heteroduplexes in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae,' is about identifying proteins involved in repair of a specific type of DNA mutation," Corrette-Bennett said.
Corrette-Bennette earned her undergraduate degree from Bates College and her Ph.D. from Brandeis University. She has done her post-doctoral research in DNA repair at Eppley Cancer Institute, University of Nebraska Medical Center. Corrette-Bennett designs, writes, and delivers biology laboratory experiments for grades 7-12 in Westminster's Science in Motion program.
Westminster College, which is one of 11 centers in Pennsylvania that offers Science in Motion, focuses on schools in Butler, Lawrence, and Mercer Counties. The Science in Motion program brings vans equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and experiments to area Pennsylvania school students.
