Biography

Research Interests: Biological consequences of DNA damage, oxidative stress, role of chromatin structure in DNA damage repair

We are working to establish a chemically-logical roadmap to understand how DNA base damage relates to genetic change and disease. We have developed techniques to define how chromatin influences DNA repair and circumstances in which base damage evades repair leading to mutations.
