Very excited to see my main postdoctoral research project peer-reviewed and published! We used cryoEM and biochemical experiments to uncover how Polymerase θ helicase facilitates DNA microhomology annealing to repair DNA in BRCA-deficient cancers. Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41594-025-0…
A DNA repair enzyme that some cancers rely on to survive could be the key to more precise treatments. The @LanderLab has captured the first images of Pol-theta in action, revealing how it repairs DNA—offering a blueprint for better cancer therapies.

Thrilled to share my postdoctoral work in @Landerlab! The human Polymerase θ helicase undergoes conformational rearrangements to facilitate DNA microhomology annealing. These insights enable rational design of novel BRCA-deficient cancer therapeutics! tinyurl.com/jaddar9u

Our first foray into the fascinating field of DNA repair! Congrats to postdoc Chris Zerio @chriszerio, who tested hundreds of oligos to identify one that trapped the helicase of human Polymerase θ in the process of annealing two strands of DNA. tinyurl.com/jaddar9u

Scientists led by @LanderLab uncover a critical feature that a promising new class of #cancer drugs needs to be effective. These drugs need to cause specific shape changes in their target that can then trigger the breakdown of key cancer-driving proteins scripps.edu/news-and-events/…

Fantastic talk by @ChrisZerio who is off to postdoc for @LanderLab in what is apparently the greatest EM lab 😊😊. He did a wonderful job with his talk, his acknowledgments were incredible. It was a treat!!!
