We seek to understand how cells regulate cell division, protect genome integrity, respond to stress, and prevent cancer. To do this, we use the powerful tools available in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster.
Our lab motto is “we do stuff to figure out things.” Over the years we have discovered molecular mechanisms that govern how cells replicate their DNA and proliferate in the context of developing tissues.
