Medical Degree - Henan Medical University in China Research Interests My lab is interested in instability of bacterial and yeast genomes during DNA replication and recombination. This is the main theme of research; based on that are bacterial pathogenesis and yeast DNA damage repair and aging. Recent Publications Praszkier, J., T. Wei, K. Siemering, and J. Pittard. Comparative analysis of the replication regions of the IncB, IncK, and IncZ plasmids. 1991. J. Bacteriol. 173:2393-2397 Tao Wei and Rolf Bernander.
