Senior Investigator, Genome Integrity & Structural Biology Laboratory / Mitochondrial DNA Replication Group
The primary goal of the Mitochondrial DNA Replication Group is to understand the role of the replication apparatus in the production and prevention of mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Because the genetic stability of mtDNA depends on the accuracy of DNA polymerase gamma (pol γ), this project focuses on understanding the role of human pol γ in mtDNA mutagenesis.
