Order in the Chaos: How Cells Navigate Broken Genomes

Information essential for life is encoded within DNA, yet this molecule is constantly challenged by diverse intrinsic and extrinsic sources of damage. Our research program aims to understand how microbial cells regulate DNA damage response and repair. By leveraging high-resolution live-cell imaging, we track when, where, and how replication, recombination and repair unfold inside individual cells. In this talk, I will focus on our recent insights into double-strand break repair by homologous recombination.
