Project Description

DNA damage is both a cure and cause on cancer. Analysing the DNA damage response on brain cancer is main goal of this study. Focusing on Repair protein hSSB1 and Transcription factor nMyc, and studying the interaction in DNA damage response in brain cancer, this project aims to shed some insight on DDR pathways.
