Research Interests

His research on the role of post-transcriptional modifications of ribosomal RNA in Escherichia coli has been supported by a FIRST Award from the National Institutes of Health. He is currently shifting his studies to the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. He is a member of Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honor society, and Sigma Xi. With Dr. Steven M. Theg (U.C. Davis), he co-authored a student solutions manual, study guide, and problems book to accompany Biochemistry by Garrett and Grisham.

Teaching Interests

Dr. Jemiolo has been a member of the biology department since 1986. In addition, he is an active participant in the interdepartmental Biochemistry Program and has served as the program's director. His teaching interests include biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology.
