Dr. Rodney J. Rothstein is a Distinguished Professor of Genetics and Development in the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University Medical Center. With over 40 years of research in yeast genetics, his work has transformed understanding of DNA repair, homologous recombination, and genome stability. Current research explores chromosome dynamics during repair, yeast-human conserved pathways, and SARS-CoV-2 host interactions using humanized yeast models.
