Our goal is to understand
how cells safe-guard their genetic information. We want to know how they do
this during their normal course of life as well as when they become exposed to external
insults like radiation that can damage DNA. Loss of genetic information can result
in death and disease. By understanding how cells safe-guard their genetic
information, we may help prevent or treat diseases that result from loss of
genetic information such as cancer.
We use Drosophila
melanogaster (fruit fly) in our studies because it is a good model for
human biology (read more about this).
