Remarkable DNA Replication Discovery (IMAGE) Gladstone Institutes Caption In a study that appears in the journal Cell, scientists from San Francisco-based Gladstone Institutes—including co-first author Megan Ostrowski (left) and senior author Vijay Ramani, PhD (right)—developed a new method to more fully understand DNA replication, a fundamental biological process that happens whenever cells in the body divide. Using that new method, they made a surprising discovery.
