    Description de la recherche<\/h2>\n

    Mon laboratoire \u00e9tudie actuellement les voies de signalisation cellulaire humaines impliqu\u00e9es dans le maintien de la stabilit\u00e9 g\u00e9nomique. Nous nous concentrons principalement sur la lumi\u00e8re UV comme mod\u00e8le mutag\u00e8ne. Ces \u00e9tudes sont primordiales pour l’am\u00e9lioration de notre compr\u00e9hension \u00e0 savoir comment le cancer se d\u00e9veloppe, en particulier le m\u00e9lan\u00f4me malin. Par ailleurs, puisque de nombreux agents chimioth\u00e9rapeutiques tuent s\u00e9lectivement les cellules tumorales en endommageant leur ADN, notre recherche a des implications cruciales pour le traitement du cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Research description<\/h2>\n

      The research themes:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Cellular responses to DNA damage in human cells<\/li>\n
      • Role of DNA repair in cancer development and treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        My laboratory is currently investigating human cellular signaling pathways involved in the maintenance of the genomic stability. We are focusing\u00a0primarily on UV light as model mutagen. Such studies are critical towards enhancing our understanding of how cancer (particularly malignant melanoma) is induced by various ubiquitous environmental genotoxins. Moreover, since many chemotherapeutic agents selectively kill tumour cells by damaging their DNA, our research has critical implications for cancer treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>
