Professor Jacqueline K. Barton is the Arthur and Marian Hanisch Memorial professor of Chemistry at California Institute of Technology. The primary focus of her research is transverse electron transport along double-stranded DNA, its implications in the biology of DNA damage and repair, and its potential for materials sciences applications. She is married to fellow Caltech chemist Peter Dervan.

[edit] Education

Barton received her B.A. (summa cum laude) from Barnard College in 1974. She went on to graduate study at Columbia University, where she studied inorganic chemistry under the supervision of S.J. Lippard. After earning her Ph.D. from Columbia in 1979, she held post-doctoral appointments at Bell Labs and Yale University, where she worked with R.G. Shulman.
