Our lab studies DNA repair and genomic stability in the contexts of development, cancer, and aging of the brain

University of California, San Francisco
Our latest on medulloblastoma and PRDM6, a member of the PRDF1 and RIZ1 homology domain-containing family of transcription factors, is out. Read the full-text here: rdcu.be/dNv7Q Congrats Christin and co-authors! @NeurosurgUCSF @UCSF #braintumors #medulloblastoma

Congrats Laura! Congrats also to Ayush from our lab who was one of the finalists! Great job!
When worms lined up like a marching band, @ucsfgraddiv's postdoc scholar Laura Persson investigated. Collective behavior may seem natural, but it's a complex process aided by humans' 86 billion brain neurons. Congrats on winning UCSF's #PostDocSlam with 'The Wormnado'!
