Summary

Dr. Sylvia Lee-Huang has a broad background in biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and virology. She received her training in molecular biology/biochemistry with Nobel laureate Severo Ochoa in the Department of Biochemistry at New York University School of Medicine. She is globally renowned for proposing and providing experimental evidence for the reversed flow of genetic information from RNA to DNA and for the discovery of small regulatory RNAs and messenger specific initiation factors. Dr. Lee Huang's lab was the first to clone and express human erythropoietin. The lab isolated, purified, characterized and elucidated the mechanism of anti-HIV proteins, oligopeptides, and small molecules.
