Tons of damages from various sources hampering DNA every day and therefore repairing DNA damages is the fundamental mechanism for the adequate maintenance of genome stability. We are interested in understanding the DNA repair mechanism in the germline. We have focused on investigating the epigenetic regulation of DNA damage response and repair. This includes the role of conserved Epigenetic regulators in DNA damage repair and the role of novel genes of DNA repair and damage response.
We are recruiting hard-working students Students interested in working in Genetics or Molecular biology in my lab, send an E-mail to me.
