Research Interests
Our lab is interested in the processes that create genomic instability, thus fueling the development of cancer. We use yeast cells to investigate the basic processes that take place during DNA replication. Among several projects, we analyze the mechanisms that create mutations, those that hold the two sister chromatids together, the biology of telomeres, and more. We are also interested in central protein kinases, such as Tor and AMPK (Snf1)
