Mechanisms protecting genome stability
My group is interested in studying the mechanisms that ensure genome stability. In particular, we are studying how cells sense, process and repair DNA double-strand breaks. Furthermore, we are studying the mechanisms that ensure telomere homeostasis and inhibit DNA repair activities at telomeres.
