About the McVey Lab
The McVey lab studies proteins and pathways that promote repair or tolerance of DNA damage in the model organism, Drosophila melanogaster. Specifically, we are interested in error-prone repair pathways and their relationship to genomic instability. Ultimately, we hope to gain a clearer understanding of how the various repair pathways are regulated by cell cycle and tissue-specific cues in a multicellular organism, and to learn how this regulation changes during development and aging.
