DNA DOUBLE STRAND BREAK REPAIR

这个子项目是利用这些资源的众多研究子项目之一

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Essentially this project concerns the use of laser ablation as a platform to study DNA double strand break repair during mitosis. In collaboration with the LAMMP, I will use the Meta 510 confocal microscope to perform flourescent imaging of HeLa and CFPAC1 cells stained for various DSB recognition and repair factors after lesion induction in a different facility with femtosecond near IR or nanosecond UVA laser irradiation. Goals include: elucidation of pathway specificity in the cellular response to mitotic DNA damage and the kinetics of DNA damage repair factor recruitment during the different stages of the cell cycle.
