My research interest is in identifying key molecular events promoting DNA replication and DNA repair, in particular those related to cancer and the response to radiotherapy. Specifically, I investigate how the p97/VCP-ubiquitin system and associated regulatory phenomena conduct cellular adaptations upon DNA damage. Our research uncovers molecular features associated to tumour survival and radiosensitivity, with the ultimate goal of implementing translational therapeutics.
