DR-259 Role of DNA Damage Tolerance Pathways in Genome Maintenance: Linking Mutations to the Lack of DDT
DNA damage response (DDR) network is critical in maintaining genome integrity. The contribution of the DNA damage tolerance (DDT) system in this network is poorly defined. In this project we strive to delinate mutational profiles to specific defects in the DRR/DDT system.

Cancer is caused by DNA mutations. There are an increasing number of drugs available that act on specific errors in the DNA of an individual patient’s tumor. A drug that doesn’t fit, like a key in a lock, will not work, while the risk of side effects remains.
