Expertise

Research:

  • The mismatch repair protein dependent epigenetic response to oxidative damage
  • Inflammation-induced epigenetic alterations create and maintain an altered cellular state that has transformative properties
  • The mechanism by which chromatin remodelers alter transcription in response to oxidative stress
  • The role of DNA repair proteins and altered DNA damage responses in establishing and maintaining platinum resistance in ovarian cancer

Research Interests:

  • mechanisms by which inflammation initiates cancer-specific epigenetic changes
