Joseph Shlomai - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Joseph Shlomai is affiliated with the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at the Institute of Medical Research Israel-Canada, within The Kuvin Center for the Study of Infectious and Tropical Diseases at The Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem, Israel. His research primarily focuses on molecular biology and infectious diseases, with a particular emphasis on the mechanisms of DNA replication and repair in kinetoplastids.

Research Contributions

Joseph Shlomai has made significant contributions to the understanding of kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), particularly in the context of trypanosome parasites. His research has explored various aspects of DNA replication, including the interactions between replication initiators and histone-like proteins, the role of redox control in protein-DNA interactions, and the function of mitochondrial DNA helicases. His work has provided insights into the stepwise condensation of kDNA networks and the molecular mechanisms underlying DNA damage response signaling, linking these processes to broader implications in gene expression and signal transduction.

Aliases

Joseph Shlomai is also known by the aliases J Shlomai and J. Shlomai. These variations of his name appear across different publications and databases.
