معرفی
Alyssa Rodriguez serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Occidental College. Appointed in 2025, she maintains office hours on Tuesdays (2-4 pm) and Thursdays (2-3 pm) in Bioscience 214A. Her contact information includes the email arodriguez4@oxy.edu and phone number (323) 259-4086.
Her academic journey began with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of San Diego, followed by a Doctor of Philosophy from Vanderbilt University.
Research Interests:
Dr. Rodriguez's primary research area centers on the molecular mechanisms of human disease, specifically investigating proteins critical for DNA repair and genome stability. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates molecular biology, biochemical assays, and computational modeling to dissect protein-DNA interactions at the most fundamental levels of amino acids and nucleotides. This work has significant implications for understanding genetic disorders and cancer biology.
Although no specific scientific awards are listed in her current profile, her research program is actively contributing to the field of molecular biology. Similarly, while details of current grants and student advisees are not provided, her laboratory environment fosters hands-on research training for undergraduate students at Occidental College.
Her laboratory, located within the Bioscience building, utilizes state-of-the-art techniques to explore the structural and functional aspects of DNA repair proteins, aiming to uncover novel therapeutic targets for genomic instability-related diseases.
