Research Interests

Miaw-Sheue Tsai is the Director of the Expression and Molecular Biology (EMB) Core for the SBDR (Structural Cell Biology of DNA Repair Machines) Program Project.  SBDR brings together the top laboratories in DNA repair through multi-disciplinary collaborations to define the complex and dynamic network of DNA repair machines and to develop an actionable, quantitative and mechanistic knowledge of DNA repair machines, pathways and intersections with DNA replication and other DNA related processes to aid prediction and intervention for cancer biology.  The EMB Core has been an integral part of SBDR since 2001 and is designed to lower the barriers for SBDR to obtain challenging DNA repair proteins and complexes by providing centralized resources and expertise in advanced recombinant protein expression technologies.  The research and production services of the EMB Core deliver consistent, high quality key reagents (including vectors, proteins and cell products) and protein partnership information to jump-start the proposed work by the SBDR Program and facilitate both internal and external collaborations.

Miaw-Sheue Tsai, DNA Mender

December 14, 2021

Drawn to science at an early age, Miaw-Sheue Tsai remembers enjoying biology more than any other subject in school. “Chemistry was okay, physics next, and math at the very end,” Tsai recollected. To her, basic science was most interesting because it represented a foundation for everything and, with that, the tools needed to build solutions for the world.

Strong Biosciences Presence at East Bay STEM Career Awareness Day

April 26, 2018

Claire Robertson (Bissell Lab) The 7th Annual East Bay STEM Career Awareness Day took place on April 26 at Wareham Development’s Aquatic Park Center in West Berkeley, home to Biosciences Operations @ Berkeley and several Area research groups. The event, organized by the Institute for STEM Education housed at California State University East Bay, had support from Berkeley Lab and several East Bay-based businesses.
