Mark Lubkowitz
Associate Professor of Biology
B.S. Washington and Lee University; Ph.D. University of Tennessee
Dr. Lubkowitz studies leaf development to better understand how genes are integrated into functional networks and how small changes in these networks can lead to evolutionary changes. He is also interested in how small proteins are transported between plant cells.

Malcolm Lippert
Associate Professor of Biology
B.S. Hope College; Ph.D. University of Vermont
Dr. Lippert explores why and how mutations, or alterations in DNA occur. He uses a yeast system to measure effects of transcription on mutation. Transcription is a normal cellular process that is critical for the expression of genetic information in cells. His students currently are working with yeast strains to measure quantitative differences in mutation. In addition, they perform molecular analyses on yeast mutants in order to determine what types of mutations occur. There are opportunities to engage in research projects both during the school year and during the summer.
