Zafer Hatahet, Ph.D.
Professor and Department Head
Office: Bienvenu Hall, Room 112C
Education
Post-doctoral Fellowship, Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT, 1990-1994.
Ph.D. in Biochemistry, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, 1985-1989.
M.S. in Biology, University of Detroit, 1983-1984.
B.S. in Biology, University of Detroit, 1981-1983.
Teaching at NSU
BIOL 1010
BIOL 4320
BIOL 4350/4351
BIOL 4910
Student Advising
Pre-Medicine and Pre-Dentistry students.
Research Interests
My research focuses on the cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative DNA damage. Primarily, I am interested in understanding the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of base excision DNA repair genes in E. coli and humans. Secondly, I am interested in studying the interactions between oxidative lesions and DNA polymerases, especially the error-prone Y-family polymerases.
