Description of Research Interests
Genome maintenance pathways are critical for faithful DNA replication, recombination, and repair, but they also have specialized functions in activated B cells where they participate in changing the sequence and structure of immunoglobulin genes. My lab uses molecular, biochemical, and cellular approaches to investigate the function of highly conserved DNA repair processes.
