Research Interests

My research is centered on the mechanisms of DNA repair, recombination, and replication. I investigate the molecular processes that maintain genome stability, focusing on the proteins and enzymes involved in these critical cellular functions. I use a combination of biochemical, biophysical, and genetic approaches to elucidate how cells repair damaged DNA and ensure accurate replication. My research provides insights into the fundamental mechanisms of genetic maintenance and has important implications for understanding the causes of genetic diseases and developing new therapeutic strategies.
