研究领域
Our research program is concerned with the mechanisms of DNA repair in higher eukaryotes and the relationship of these processes to carcinogenesis and anti-tumor therapy, focusing on two main questions: 1) What are the molecular mechanisms by which DNA repair pathways prevent carcinogenesis and 2) How might we selectively inhibit DNA repair pathways in tumor cells to counteract resistance to treatment with agents such as cisplatin or nitrogen mustards. Our work combines organic chemistry, biochemistry and structural, molecular and cellular biology to address these questions in the context of nucleotide excision repair and interstrand crosslink repair.
