Research Area C: DNA-damage Responses in Aging-related Tissue Degeneration and Tumorigenesis
Project leaders: Prof. Dr. Björn Schumacher, Prof. Dr. H. Christian Reinhardt
Key objectives of research area C are to investigate:
- functional roles of proteostasis, mitochondrial DNA repair, and telomere structures in genome maintenance
- DNA-damage response mechanisms in cellular and organismal aging and tumor development
- novel genome maintenance factors that antagonize aging
