therapyAging is one of the biggest mysteries of biology. "Why we age?" is a basic biological question, and at the same time it is highly medically relevant. Aging is associated in accumulation of mutations and genomic instability. We study age-related changes
in repair of DNA double-strand breaks using human cells and transgenic mice. We are also using comparative approach to study aging by analyzing short- and long-lived animal species. Finally, as aging is associated with increased cancer incidence, we study
DNA repair in breast cancer cells, and anti-cancer mechanisms in short- and long-lived rodents. To learn more about her research, please visit our lab website <a href="http://gorbunova.biology.rochester.edu/">Gorbunova Lab</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
