Margaret J. Kovach, PhD

I am a UC Foundation Professor of Genetics at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga where my responsibilities include teaching and research in the area of molecular biology and genetics and advisement of pre-professional students.  My professional training in genetics began with my doctoral thesis, at Colorado State University, on nuclear functions of somatic mosquito cells.  This led to a post-doctoral position at Brown University in which I examined protein:DNA interactions involved in site-specific DNA recombination of bacteriophage Lambda.  My interest continues to be in DNA/chromatin structure and function, but in the human system.
