John Scott Perez went through a Doctoral Dissertation in Chemistry at the University of Nebraska Lincoln involving the Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics and Biology tied to Telomeres, chromosomes, cancer, and aging.
He pioneered the synthetic replication of chromosomes with 3 very rare PCR reactions he created while working with the Nobel Laureates Dr. Thomas Cech, Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, Dr. Carol Greider, Dr. Ignacio Tinocco, Dr. Peter Klobutcher, and other labs.
He was the 1st person to crystallize a Telomere Binding Protein after expressing it in E.
Coli.
One PCR reaction he invented is used in tumor type diagnosis worldwide by Oncologists to identify Telomere length in tumor biopsies.
He is an expert in biological radioactive & fluorescent assay methods involving DNA, RNA, and proteins.
