Stanley Mauldin

Stanley Mauldin serves as a Professor in the Department of Biology within the School of Arts & Sciences, specializing in molecular mechanisms of genomic integrity maintenance.

His research program investigates DNA repair pathways with emphasis on interstrand crosslink resolution using Dictyostelium discoideum as a genetic model. Key focus areas include the roles of ubiquitin conjugation (via RAD18/RAD6 complexes), SUMOylation (through MMS21), and NEDD8 modification in DNA damage response systems. His laboratory has conducted molecular and biochemical characterization of DNA Polymerase Zeta, contributing to understanding translesion synthesis mechanisms in eukaryotic cells.
