Chromosome Biogenesis
under the supervision of
ALAIN VERREAULT, Ph.D.
- Associate Professor, Department of Pathology and Cell Biology, Université de Montréal
Our team studies the mechanisms by which proliferating cells replicate and rapidly package their DNA into chromosomes during S-phase of the cell cycle. Even subtle defects in those mechanisms result in chromosome rearrangements and confer an acute sensitivity to many genotoxic agents that are currently used to treat cancer. Thus, the enzymes involved in chromosome assembly represent attractive novel therapeutic targets for cancer therapy.
