GENOME INSTABILITY AND HUMAN PATHOLOGIES
Genomes are constantly exposed to damage. Failure to repair DNA lesions leads to mutations, which can contribute to ageing and cancer. The main focus of the lab is to characterize DNA repair and cell cycle control mechanisms to understand how defects in these processes contribute to aging, cancer and other genetic syndromes.
