Richard Carliss, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
Phone: (540) 985-9961
E-mail: RDCarliss@jchs.edu Courses taught: Genetics, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Anatomy and Physiology.
Research program at JCHS:
1) Cellular aging and lifestyle. We are currently assessing the degree to which aging and general health status may be correlated to telomeric shortening. Telomeres are a repeating series of base sequences that act to protect chromosomes from degradation as cells divide.
2) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is studied to determine the extent to which regulation of rahU, a protein newly-discovered in our laboratories, may play a central role in the infection of lung in cystic fibrosis patients.
