Current research projects


We are trying to apply a broad range of approaches to get an integrated view of the cellular and organismal response to DNA damage. We are using biochemistry, structural biology, cell biology and mouse genetics. In general, we are interested in dynamic chromosome transactions in the context of the nucleus.
