Brief Description of Research Interest :
I'm particulary interested in molecular and cellular mechanisms involving disease progression aiming at better understanding the interaction between pathogens and host. I actively pursue research topics that involve disease mechanisms and therapeutic approaches. At my current position, I'm specifically studying the novel phenotype of a DNA Translesion synthesis(TLS) protein, REV1 and its association with disease pathogenesis.
