Bio/Research
Professor Mary Lou Pardue, an internationally known geneticist and cell biologist and a departmental colleague since 1972, has been appointed the first Boris Magasanik Professor in Biology.
Professor Pardue's two major fields of research have been cellular and molecular biology. She specializes in studies of chromosome structure and the mechanisms by which genes carry out functions and affect development of higher organisms. Her doctoral research was devoted to the development of a technique-now called in-situ hybridization-which allowed biologists, for the first time, to map specific DNA sequences on chromosomes and within interphase nuclei. It has become a standard tool of molecular biology.
