研究领域

DNA replication is a major target for cancer therapies, while efficient DNA repair antagonizes those same therapies. Both replication and repair are critically dependent on the dynamics, coordinated access, and conformational switching of key proteins in the replication machinery. Research in our group is centered on the development and application of integrative or hybrid approaches for computational modeling of biological assemblies involved in these processes. We model and structurally characterize these dynamic assemblies to elucidate their roles in maintaining genome stability. Success of this research could have impact on cancer etiology and interventions. Our computational work feeds back directly to collaborative experimental work, forming strong contextual underpinnings for the multidisciplinary experiments designed to tackle the complex biology of DNA replication and DNA repair.
