We study the cellular response to genotoxic stress. We have uncovered a signal transduction protein kinase cascade that phosphorylates over 700 proteins in response to DNA damage and controls genomic stability. Using synthetic biology we also develop genetic technologies such as genome-wide viral libraries of shRNAs for genetic screening in mammals to identify genes important for cancer and growth control.
