Research Interests:

My undergraduate research in the field of DNA damage and repair focused on the fork protection complex protein, TIMELESS, and its role in protecting stalled replication forks to maintain genome stability. I am interested in further studying the mechanisms of other DNA repair pathways and their connection with cancer tumorigenesis to potentially develop cancer therapeutics that target these repair pathways.
