Brooks Crickard is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Cornell University. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which enzymes function to maintain genetic information stored in chromosomes. His laboratory examines processes such as DNA strand invasion and strand exchange involved in homologous recombination, which is a universally conserved pathway used by organisms to maintain chromosome integrity. The Crickard laboratory employs a combination of biochemical, biophysical, and genetic approaches to develop high-resolution models of these critical processes. Crickard has published several key papers in prominent journals, including 'Current Opinion in Genetics & Development' and 'Cell', and has contributed significantly to the field of molecular biology through his research on DNA repair mechanisms.
