The Santos laboratory studies the DNA damage response and the epigenetic regulation of normal and cancer stem cells. Current studies focus on the hematopoietic system for two reasons: 1) it is a well-established system for adult stem cell studies and 2) the dynamic nature of the hematopoietic system places it in a vulnerable position with respect to genomic damage during DNA replication.
