Sang Eun Lee, Ph.D.
Professor
The common property of cancer cells is genetic instability. Frequent alterations of structure and chromosome numbers in cells contribute to the initiation and the progression of many types of cancer. The ultimate cure of this disease should thus come from a better understanding of the mechanisms preserving genome integrity. The overarching goal of my research program is to define cellular mechanisms to suppress genetic instability in the face of DNA damaging agents, in particular, DNA double strand breaks.
