- Maintenance of Genome Stability
- Endogenous Sources of DNA Damage
- Repair of DNA-Protein Crosslinks
Maintenance of genome stability is essential to counteract cancer development and ageing. We are trying to understand how cells detect, signal and repair DNA damage. Moreover, we are interested in identifying the endogenous processes causing DNA damage in human cells. We investigate these processes by combining various approaches including genetic engineering, cell biology and biochemistry. Read more...
