Publications by Students and Postdocs
The following articles were written by Graduate students and Postdoctoral fellows reporting research they did while working in Bruce Levin’s laboratory. Bruce’s role in these endeavors was more that of a producer, occasional technician, advisor, editor, kibitzer, and general busybody than of a full-time, hands-on collaborator.
