Presentation:
Molecular insights into the function of proteins important for DNA replication and repair

Bio

My interest in the structural basis of biological function started during my undergraduate training in Chemistry at the University of Padua, Italy (1986-1991) and subsequently as a graduate student in Natural Sciences at the ETH, Zurich, Switzerland (1992-1996). In 1996 I joined the Department of Biochemistry of the University of Cambridge, UK where my research has focused on the molecular mechanism of DNA repair in eukaryotic cells. In 2003 I was awarded a Senior Fellowship in Basic Biomedical Sciences by the Wellcome Trust, to define atomic structure and mechanism of action of the macromolecular assemblies responsible for repair and replication of our genome.
