Beckman scholars program 2011
Requirements and Expectations Must perform research activities part-time ten hours per week during one academic year, and full-time over two consecutive summers. Brian DeDecker. Must submit a final report to the Beckman Foundation at the conclusion of the research experience.
Must meet periodically with Dr. DeDecker to discuss progress. Beckman Scholars are expected to conduct independent research suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. If you are an undergraduate student in the area of chemistry, biochemistry, biology, or other science discipline, contact your institution's department chairs or research support office for more information.
Note: We are not able to extend Beckman Scholars Program application invitations to every deserving institution that provides undergraduate research experiences for its students. The limited number of institutional awards we provide precludes us from doing this. We use cookies to provide you with a better service. Carry on browsing if you're happy with this, or find out more.

The Beckman Scholars Program is a limited-submission, invitation-only program. She continued research on protein-DNA interactions with Dr. Benno Mueller-Hill and Dr. Walter Doerfler at the University of Cologne, where she earned an undergraduate Diplom and doctorate. She joined the molecular genetics group at the University of Konstanz with the goal of determining how proteins separate parental DNA strands and coordinately replicate the two strands in human cells and how the process is regulated.
As the model system for these studies, she began utilizing a DNA tumor virus mini-chromosome and human cell extracts. In she was recruited to the Institute for Biochemistry at the University of Munich as a tenured professor, and to Vanderbilt University as a Stevenson Professor. The Fanning Lab continues to use the viral model system to study the structure and function of human DNA replication proteins, with the long term goal of understanding the interplay between DNA replication and repair pathways to maintain genomic integrity and of uncovering the strategies used by viruses to manipulate these pathways for their own propagation.
