Q&A: Why it's important for cells to make copies on an exacting schedule

Allison McClure, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the CU School of Medicine. She is focused on learning all about how cells replicate, or make copies of themselves. McClure and her research team seek to understand how cells copy all of their DNA on time and without genetic mistakes to pass down to next-generation cells.
