PhD in mitotic DNA damage repair in the lab of Marcel van Vugt (Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen, The Netherlands). |
| Scientific interests | I am interested in the causes and consequences of genome instability. During my PhD, I investigated the origins and processing of mitotic ultrafine DNA bridges. Currently, I am looking into the activation of the innate immune system by cytosolic DNA. |
