Currently investigating how DNA replication is initiated in human cells. My work focuses on understanding replication kinetics using advanced super-resolution microscopy techniques combined with quantitative high-throughput analysis. Defining a frame-work of DNA replication initiation factors will help to identify novel cancer drug targets.
Interested in all life science research, with a strong focus on communicating complex science in clear, visual, and engaging ways that inspire understanding and impact.
