About the Laboratory of DNA Repair and Aging

We are a research laboratory focused on the molecular mechanisms of genome maintenance and aging, with a special emphasis on brain aging. Our work explores the interface between development and aging, aiming to understand how genome stability influences the aging process. We also investigate DNA repair mechanisms in various diseases, including cancer and disorders resulting from defects in DNA repair pathways.

Our research interests include:

• Molecular mechanisms of aging
• DNA repair
• Translesion synthesis pathway
• Interface between genome maintenance and neurobiology
• Evo-devo
• Multi-omics analyses and systems biology
• Development of Bioinformatics tools for systems biology and omic analyzes
• Macromolecule simulation
• Learning in basic education and its association with digital technologies
