Brief Description of Research Interest :
My primary research focus is to understand mechanisms of genome instability in vertebrate (human and mammalian) and yeast cells. Various environmental and endogenous sources are responsible for causing DNA damage to the genome. Under normal circumstances and depending on the damage inflicted, various DNA repair pathways such as Mismatch Repair (MMR), Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER), Base Excision Repair (BER) and the Double Strand Break Repair (DSBR) come into play to repair the damage and enable survival. At the same time, the overarching role of translesion Synthesis Polymerases (TLS) to bypass unrepaired damage contribute to cell's survival and health. I have worked variously on the DNA repair pathways and am currently focussed on studying the TLS polymerases. My long term goals are to understand in more detail cellular stress responses that are able to modulate the DNA repair pathways and contribute to cancer.
