Matthew L. Bochman studies how cells maintain and repair their DNA, with a focus on molecular machines called helicases (proteins that unwind DNA), including the RecQ4/Hrq1 family that is linked to human disease. A second strand of the lab explores the biology of yeasts and microbes used in fermentation, such as wild yeasts for brewing beer and other fermented beverages. This work spans basic molecular biochemistry and applied microbiology of food and drink production.
