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 science]]s applications. She is married to fellow Caltech chemist [[Peter Dervan]]. ==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 Telephone Laboratories|Bell Labs]] and [[Yale University]], where she worked with [[R.G. Shulman]]. ==Selected publications== * {{cite journal |title=Direct Electrochemistry of Endonuclease III in the Presence and Absence of DNA |first=A.A. |last=Gorodetsky |coauthors=A.K. Boal, and J.K.
