Nancy S. Bae is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at Midwestern University's College of Graduate Studies - Arizona. She holds adjunct roles in multiple Midwestern colleges, including the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, College of Dental Medicine-Arizona, and Arizona College of Optometry. Her academic background includes a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland at College Park (2003), an M.S. from SUNY Stony Brook, and a B.A. from the University of Washington.
Her research focuses on telomere biology, particularly the roles of the RAP1 protein in telomere protection, oxidative stress responses, and non-telomeric DNA interactions. Key projects include investigating cytoplasmic RAP1's role in oxidative stress, non-telomeric nuclear functions of RAP1, and its association with chromatin remodeling factors. Her work spans topics like aging, age-related diseases, and genetic regulation.
- Grants:
- 2022-2023: Arizona Alzheimer's Consortium grant on RAP1 and γ-secretase activity
- MWU Intramural grant on RAP1's DNA and TET3 interactions
- Teaching: Courses such as BIOCG 1550, BIOCG 551, BASIG 1501, and others in biochemistry and molecular genetics.
Dr. Bae's publications span over three decades, addressing telomere dynamics, oxidative stress, protein interactions, and their implications in diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer. Her work utilizes yeast and mammalian models to elucidate fundamental mechanisms in cellular aging and genetic regulation.
