$1.45 million grant from NIH to Antony Lab

The Antony lab has received a four-year $1.45 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the function of proteins involved in DNA repair and recombination. The project seeks to understand the mechanism of action of Replication Protein A (RPA), a key player in maintaining the integrity of the genome. Defects in RPA and coordination of DNA repair leads to genomic instabilities, a hallmark of most cancers.
