Expertise: DNA Repair, Genome Instability and Cancer



Genome instability is a hallmark of cancer cells and it is well established that defects in DNA repair pathways such as homologous recombination predispose to cancer. My laboratory is interested in understanding the underlying mechanisms of DNA repair in human cells and how proper genome maintenance reduces the risks of cancer. Understanding how proteins function within DNA repair pathways provides important insights into the etiology of certain cancers and is necessary for the development of novel cancer drugs.
