Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Paul Lieberman. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Paul M. Lieberman is a Professor at the Wistar Institute and is affiliated with the Microbiology Graduate Group at the University of Pennsylvania. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Cornell University in 1983 and completed his Ph.D. in Molecular Virology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1989. His research expertise encompasses gene expression and genome maintenance with a focus on gammaherpesviruses and oncogenesis. He investigates the role of telomere biology, chromatin structure, and transcription regulation in maintaining genome stability. His lab actively explores the mechanisms behind viral latency and the factors influencing latent infections of human tumor viruses, including Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV). He employs high-throughput screening to identify small molecule inhibitors that target latent virus infections and engages students in various rotation projects related to non-coding telomere RNA and epigenetic regulation. Paul has contributed to pivotal publications highlighting the interaction between telomeric proteins and viral genome maintenance.
