Austin T. Raper

Austin T. Raper studies the molecular machinery cells use to copy, repair, and edit DNA, with a particular focus on how the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system and DNA-repair enzymes work at a mechanistic level. This work uses biochemical and biophysical techniques, including single-molecule fluorescence and structural methods, to understand how these proteins move and function while interacting with DNA. The research is relevant to students interested in gene-editing tools, DNA repair, and the biophysics of enzyme-DNA interactions.

Publication output peaked around 2018 and has since slowed considerably, with sparse and irregular output (often zero) in recent years.
