The Wolf-Dietrich Heyer laboratory studies the mechanism and regulation of recombinational DNA repair. Their studies integrate biophysical, biochemical, cell biological and genetic approaches, with translational studies that aim at harnessing the knowledge of the basic mechanisms of recombinational DNA repair to improve the understanding of cancer etiology and develop novel concepts in anti-tumor therapy.
