My research program aims to define the mechanism of topoisomerases, to understand how topoisomerases are regulated and search for novel drugs that target these regulatory mechanisms. My group has recently discovered that the oncoprotein MYC stimulates the activity of topoisomerases to boost cellular growth. We aim to block this mechanism to arrest MYC-driven tumors.
