Chemist and Biologist exploring DNA Repair and Cancer Therapy and Biology at PITT. Happy to have lived and done science in 🇨🇭,🇺🇸,🇰🇷,🇳🇱. I also like Food 🥘, Travel ✈️ , Art 🖼️ , Heavy Metal 🤘.
Excited to share our latest preprint by @mihyun-kim.bsky.social showing how DNA incision activities in nucleotide excision are regulated to ensure genomic stability. We show that interactions between TFIIH and XPG control the 5' incision by ERCC1-XPF. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Awesome work! Glad to have played a small role in it with one of my favorite collaborators @luijsterburglab.bsky.social
Happy to share our new paper with Goran Kokic and the Svejstrup lab in Cell!

We show that STK19 facilitates the clearance of lesion-stalled RNAPII during transcription-coupled DNA repair.

Great teamwork by Diana, Marta and Paula!

Great to join bluesky today, but even more excited to just have started a new position at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School and Hillman Cancer Center last week.
Looking forward to be working with a great group of colleagues in the Genome Stability Program here!
