Research Interest
Accurate replication and repair of DNA is vital for maintaining genomic integrity. Therefore, defects in these processes fuel cancer pathogenesis. Our research aims to understand how cancer cells maintain resilience to proliferate despite compromised DNA replication and repair processes. This knowledge can inform on cancer etiology, drug responses and new therapeutic vulnerabilities.
