Joanna San Pedro

Joanna is from the Philippines, moved to Baltimore, MD (Johns Hopkins) to pursue her Ph.D. in Chemistry (oxidative DNA damage) and is now in California, where she is exploring a unique interface between chemistry and biology at the O’Shea lab. She is applying her knowledge of nucleic acid chemistry in developing new chemical tags that will allow identification of 3D local interactions of any protein complex or genomic locus in situ. This will allow researchers to see the nuclear architecture in greater detail than before.
