报告人简介：

Dr. Li’s group has long standing research interests in understanding the molecular mechanisms of genomic instability and tumorigenesis. The maintenance of genomic integrity following DNA damage depends on the coordination of DNA repair with cell cycle checkpoint controls. The integrity of the DNA damage response pathway is crucial for the prevention of neoplastic transformation, as suggested by the fact that many proteins involved in these pathways are tumor suppressors including BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, RPA1 and FANC family. Efforts by his laboratory over the years have led to the discovery of a recombination-independent repair mechanism of DNA crosslinks and to the functional dissection of the Fanconi anemia pathway.
