Both normal metabolic activities and environmental factors such as solar UV light, radiation and industrial pollutants can cause damage to cellular DNA, resulting in as many as 1 million lesions per human cell per day. To contend with the constantly occurring DNA lesions, cells are equipped with multiple, highly conserved DNA repair pathways. Deficiencies in DNA repair are implicated in cancer, mental and developmental retardation, and premature aging. Our research is focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of DNA repair in living human and yeast cells. Our finding may offer valuable guidance for prevention and/or treatment of human diseases related to DNA damage and repair.
