Tina Saxowsky is associate professor of Chemistry at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash., where she teaches biochemistry and conducts research in RNA biology. Saxowsky earned her undergraduate degree from Lewis & Clark College before completing her Ph.D. in biological chemistry at Johns Hopkins University, where her fellowship began in 1996. Her research has focused on RNA editing and the mechanisms by which cells modify RNA sequences after transcription—a regulatory process with implications for genetic disease and cancer biology.
