Reid C. Johnson is a Professor of Biological Chemistry in the UCLA School of Medicine, where he joined the faculty in 1986. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983 and did postdoctoral work at Caltech. Dr. Johnson has had a long standing research interest in mechanisms and control of specialized DNA recombination reactions, such as transposition and site-specific recombination. An additional focus of his laboratory has concerned the varied functions of abundant nucleoid-associated DNA bending proteins in regulating transcription reactions and chromosome behavior in microorganisms. This work has recently been extended to include HMGB chromatin-associated proteins in eukaryotic cells, especially yeast.
