Dr. Gheorghe Chistol's lab studies how eukaryotic cells replicate their DNA, and how the replication machinery copes with various challenges during this process. They use single-molecule approaches to understand the mechanisms that safeguard the integrity of our genomes, and what happens when these mechanisms fail.
