Ann Zeeh
Associate Professor

B.S., Clarkson University, Potsdam, New York; Ph.D. State University of New York at Albany
Molecular Biology, Genetics

TEACHING AREAS:

• Cell Biology (Bio 351)-lecture/lab
  
• Genetics (Bio 358)- lecture/lab
  
• Principles of Biology(Bio 101) lecture/lab
  
• Fundamentals of Biology for Non-majors (Bio 100)-lecture/lab
  

RESEARCH INTERESTS:

• Genetics of Escherichia coli and bacteriophage T4 more specifically, the occurrence of self-splicing introns in phage T4 and the mechanism by which these introns splice)
  

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES:

• DIRECTOR of undergraduate student research funded by NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANT.
  
• Students in Dr. Zeeh's laboratory are currently involved in a project to generate splicing "mutants" (individual organisms unable to splice specific introns during the gene expression process) and to evaluate these mutants through DNA sequencing. These students learn a variety of molecular biology techniques including DNA isolation and purification, restriction enzyme mapping, gel electrophoresis, gene cloning, in vitro mutagenesis, bacterial transformation and electroporation and DNA sequencing.
  

Undergraduate Research

In 1997 and 1998, my students were supported by undergraduate research fellowships from the American Society for Microbiology (ASM). These fellowships not only supported the students' research projects at the College of Saint Rose, but also provided support for each of them to travel to the ASM General Meeting in Miami in 1997 and in Atlanta in 1998 to present the results of their research.
