Award-Winning Scholars
Our scholars are decorated with many awards. Here is a partial list:
The Kupiec lab studies the basic mechanisms that maintain the stability of the genome. Genome instability is a hallmark of cancer cells and increases with aging.
Among different subjects, we study the mechanisms that maintain telomere length, the repair of DNA damage, and the source of mutations during cell growth.
