Studying the mechanisms of DNA repair

Thesis Abstract

This project aims to study the mechanisms of DNA repair, a crucial process that maintains the integrity of the genetic material in all living organisms. The project will investigate the different types of DNA damage, including base modifications, strand breaks, and crosslinks. The project will explore the various DNA repair pathways, including base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and homologous recombination. The project will also examine the role of DNA repair enzymes and their implications in genome stability and disease prevention. By understanding the mechanisms of DNA repair, this project will contribute to our knowledge of DNA damage and repair processes and their implications in health and disease.
