Cell Copying: Importance of Precise Timing

Meet the Scientist: Allison McClure investigates the timing of how cells copy their DNA to make new cells

Allison McClure, PhD, is focused on learning all about how cells replicate, or make copies of themselves. McClure and her research team seek to understand how cells copy all of their DNA on time and without genetic mistakes to pass down to next-generation cells.

Following is a Q&A with McClure, an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the CU School of Medicine.
