DNA Repair mechanisms are essential for the maintenance of genome stability. Defective DNA repair mechanisms are not only a major driver for carcinogenesis, but can render cancer cells more sensitive to treatment with DNA damaging cancer-therapeutic agents. The aim of this project is to study the role of specific DNA repair mechanisms in the maintenance of genome stability with an aim to improve our understanding of carcinogenesis and the role that DNA repair mechanisms play in providing resistance against clinically important DNA damaging cancer drugs. The successful applicant will join the North West Cancer Research Fund Institute at the School of Biological Sciences, Bangor University, and the recently established Cardiff/Bangor Cancer Genetics Biomedical Research Unit.
