Richard Myers

Richard Myers, Ph.D., serves as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms governing genetic inheritance and stability, with emphasis on:

• DNA damage repair pathways and their physiological consequences
• Viral recombinase applications in genome engineering
• Molecular enzymology of nucleic acid processing

His publication record (2008-2018) reveals consistent focus on DNA metabolism across diverse biological contexts. Key thematic clusters include viral recombination mechanisms, DNA repair regulation in disease, heme-responsive mitochondrial biogenesis, fluorescent protein engineering, and thermophilic enzyme characterization. Work consistently integrates biochemical, genetic, and structural approaches.
