About Philip J Laipis

Professor Philip Laipis received the Ph.D. in genetics from Stanford University in 1972. His thesis research with Dr. A.T. Ganesan examined the role of DNA polymerases and DNA ligase in repair and recombination of B. subtilis DNA. He joined A.J. Levine’s laboratory at Princeton University as an NIH postdoctoral fellow, and he studied replicating SV40 viral DNA. He joined the University of Florida in 1974. He rose to the rank of Professor in 1986. Dr. Laipis has served on the NIH Physiological Chemistry and Therapeutic Approaches to Genetic Disease Study Sections and since 1997 has been the Associate Chair of the Department.
