CANCER FROM WITHIN: immune cells reveal insights into mechanisms of DNA recombination and tumorigenesis. Lymphocytes are unique cell types of our adaptive immune system that require multiple rounds of cell divisions during their development and, most strikingly, multiple rounds of gene rearrangements during the formation of their antigen receptors. Our research major goal is to understand the mechanisms by which a lymphoid cell maintains the integrity of its DNA and prevents genomic instability and transformation. We study the DNA recombination processes – V(D)J recombination and class switch recombination – that are part of B- and T-cell development and the general DNA double-strand break response and repair mechanisms and pathways that lead to genetic instability and cancer.
