Professor Aidan Doherty, MRC Genome Damage and Stability Centre, University of Sussex
Monday 31st March, 4.00 p.m., Marlowe Lecture Theatre 1
To counteract DNA damage and maintain genome stability, cells have evolved a myriad of strategies for repairing specific genetic lesions. This lecture will explore our current understand of how potentially lethal DNA breaks are repaired, how this pathway is regulated in yeast cells and discuss how these studies led to the discovery of a novel damage tolerance pathway in eukaryotic cells.
