Job Description
We investigate how alternative repair pathways, particularly microhomology-mediated end-joining and RNA-templated DSB repair, contribute to chromosome stability, genome plasticity, and cellular adaptation. Our work combines molecular biology, genomics, and biochemical approaches to characterize these non-canonical repair mechanisms across different cellular contexts, including mitosis and post-mitotic cells. We aim to elucidate the physiological roles of these pathways in genome maintenance, their evolutionary significance, and their implications in human disease. We are looking for a motivated scientist who wants to do rigorous, creative work in a collaborative and supportive environment. The lab is young and growing, with close mentorship and opportunities to develop an independent research direction.
