On Tuesday, June 4th, Genopolys Amphitheater, at 11h30, John Diffley (Crick Institute, London) will give an exciting seminar on DNA damage and replication titled “DNA Replication Forks and the DNA Damage Checkpoint.”
John Diffley, the Associate Director of the Francis Crick Institute, London, is a pioneer in the field of DNA replication and DNA damage. His groundbreaking research involves characterizing the mechanisms of DNA replication and has provided unparalleled insights into the initiation and elongation of replication. His work also sheds light on how the loss of checkpoints and DNA damage can lead to genome instability, a crucial aspect of cancer biology.
His research is also a magnificent example of the power of biochemistry and the use of in- vitro systems to dissect complex biological reactions.
