Susan Cure was co-author of the following article which appeared as the cover story of the 50th anniversary edition of the Journal of Molecular Biology: “Tracing ancestors and relatives of Escherichia coli B, and the derivation of B strains REL606 and BL21(DE3)” in 2009 Dec 11:394(4):634-43. Epub 2009 Sep 15 by Daegelen, P., Studier, F.W., Lenski, R.E., Cure, S., and Kim, J.F.  Escherichia coli B is a specific strain of a common intestinal bacterium which was used in seminal experiments which were very important in the development of molecular biology. The authors were able to trace it back to its source in the first decades of the 20th century (in the laboratory of Felix d'Herelle at the Pasteur Institute in 1918).

 

In addition to teaching at AUP, Professor Cure also works for the Association Française contre les Myopathies (the French Muscular Dystrophy Association) as a scientific collaborator, and for Genoscope, which is the French national DNA sequencing center. This center sequenced human chromosome 14 as France's participation in the Human Genome Project. Professor Cure has also done research on immunodeficiency in rats in California, chromosome abnormalities in human embryos in Paris, and avian influenza in Hong Kong ducks.
