RNA Polymerase Dynamics and Function RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA during transcription, which is a highly complex process with many open questions on its mechanism remain to be answered. We are particularly interested in dynamics of RNA polymerase at the active site as well as at the larger scale...

Ph.D., University of Arizona, Anthropology (Archaeology and Materials Science) My research interest is the origins of pottery. I investigate early ceramic technologies adopting methods developed in archaeology, materials science, and geoscience. My studies reconstruct production processes...

Affiliation: Department of Anthropology and Heritage Studies – University of California Merced Bio: Nicola Lercari is an Associate Professor of Heritage Studies in the Department of Anthropology and Heritage Studies at the University of California, Merced. He received his Ph.D. in History and Computing from the University of Bologna, Italy, and has participated in numerous digital humanities and digital archaeology research initiatives in Turkey, Italy, the United States, and Mexico. Dr. Lercari's scholarship exposes the fundamental role that digital and geospatial technologies play in the investigation and protection of sites of cultural significance, archaeological excavation/museum collections, data, and information that describe and document the cultural diversity of our planet.

Lercari’s Heritage Interpretation Visualization and Experience (HIVE) Lab was established in the summer 2016 at the University of California, Merced. The HIVE Lab is currently based on the University of California Merced campus in the Classroom and Office Building 2 (COB2 Room 344). The HIVE Lab is...

Cell fate decisions, and the subsequent maintenance of unique cellular identities, represent essential processes in the development of multicellular organisms. Similar cell fate decisions play critical roles in the adaptation of unicellular microbes to distinct environmental niches, including during...
