The Adeyemi Lab at Fred Hutch is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of genome maintenance; how cellular DNA integrity is maintained in response to different types of cellular insults, how these processes are dysregulated during genetic diseases, infections, aging and cancer, and how such knowledge can potentially be exploited towards novel therapies.
