- DNA Damage Response
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.
