Paul Englund, a leading researcher and scholar in the field of Kinetoplast DNA, will discuss "The Structure and Replication of Kinetoplast DNA," Friday, Oct. 25, at 3 p.m. in Room 112 of the Saunders Hall of Chemistry at Hamilton College.

Englund is a professor of biological chemistry at The Johns Hopkins University where he has taught since 1968. He earned a B.A. in chemistry from Hamilton in 1960, and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Rockefeller University in 1966. He has authored and co-authored numerous articles on the subject of DNA including: "A DNAse from the Trypanosomatid Crithidia Fasciculata," "Kinetoplast Maxicircle DNA Replication in Crithidia Fasciculata and Trypanosoma Brucei," "The Structure and Replication of Kinetoplast DNA," and "A DNA Polymerase Beta in the Mitochondrion of the Tryplanosomatid Crithidia Fasciculata."
