He has teamed with Dr. James DeGregori, PhD, a Professor in the same department, on a project entitled “Multiplexed detection of DNA repair capacity for cancer diagnostics”. The goal of their project is to develop a novel sequencing-based assay for measuring DNA repair capacity that can be scaled to measure repair events catalyzed by endogenous activities in cells, both normal and cancerous. If successful, the assay may serve as a means to acquire specific information from cancer cells that supports precision medicine-based treatments in the future.
