Main Lab Projects dealing with
Replication Protein A (RPA):
Characterization
of
phosphorylation
sites in RPA by Molecular Biology and Molecular Genetics.
Studying the
role of RPA in Telomere
Synthesis with molecular genetics and biochemistry.
Studying the
role of RPA in Cell cycle
control by Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology.

role of RPA Phosphorylation
in different types of DNA damage repair including: Homologous
Recombination and Nucleotide Excision Repair with Molecular Genetics and
in vivo biochemistry.
Characterization
of
physical
interactions between RPA and other repair and telomere proteins with
Yeast Two Hybrid, Genomics, Proteomics, and Biochemical techniques.
Other topics
involving Telomeres, Cell
cycle control, and DNA repair available upon request.
