Our lab studies ssDNA gaps as the cause of BRCAness and investigates how these gaps create a therapeutic window for sensitizing cancer cells to anti-cancer therapies.

Happy to share a new publication on Mechanistic Coupling of Enzyme Activities at the Replisome in JBC. We #Traklab compare and contrast strategies used across organisms to coordinate the many enzymatic processes that occur during DNA replication. Hope it is helpful. doi.org/10.1016/j.jb...

Department of Microbiology The Department of Microbiology was founded in 2010, and is the product of a merger between two departments, one focused on microbiology, genetics, and immunology, and the other focused on physiology.

I was very sad to learn of the passing of Mike Volkert, brilliant scientist always with kind smile...obit is posted www.umassmed.edu/maps/
