The life cycle of a manuscript

Laurie A. Dempsey, Ph.D.  
 Nature Immunology         

Biography 

Laurie received a B.S. in microbiology at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). She earned her Ph.D. with David Dubnau at New York University (New York, NY, USA), examining DNA replication and recombination, and subsequently studied protein-DNA interactions with Nick Cozzarelli (University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA) and Saleem Khan (University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). Recombination interests led to studies in immunoglobulin class switching with Nancy Maizels (Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA). After a stint as assistant professor at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN, USA) looking into mechanisms of organ rejection, she finally left the Eppendorfs behind in 2001 to become an editor for Nature Immunology.
