We are interested in the mechanisms that maintain genomic stability. Our work is focused on the ATM-mediated signaling network, which is activated by DNA damage. ATM is a powerful protein kinase that is absent in patients with the genomic instability syndrome, ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). Another focus of interest in the lab is the molecular pathology of neurodegeneration in A-T.
