Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Tony A. Slieman's research focuses on the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on bacterial spores, specifically *Bacillus subtilis*. His work has investigated how artificial and solar UV radiation induce DNA damage, including strand breaks and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, in bacterial spore DNA. Slieman has also explored the role of dipicolinic acid in the survival of these spores when exposed to UV radiation and the specific binding and cleavage activity of Spore Photoproduct (SP) lyase from *Bacillus subtilis* on UV-irradiated DNA. In addition to his research on bacterial radiation tolerance, Slieman has contributed to educational scholarship, publishing on methods for case-based group learning using concept maps and improving student feedback quality through peer review and rubrics. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7, with 12 total publications and 564 citations.
