Rachel Y. Samson studies the molecular and cellular biology of archaea, a domain of single-celled microorganisms. Her work examines how these organisms copy their DNA and how their internal membrane systems function, including protein machinery (the ESCRT apparatus) involved in shaping and dividing cell membranes.
