Research Description
The Mehta lab focuses on understanding the replication stress response and the mutagenic consequences of DNA-strand specific obstacles. Our goal is to provide a new context for understanding how endogenous (byproducts of metabolism and ribonucleotides) and exogenous/environmental (chemicals, genotoxins, and viruses) stresses mutagenize DNA and how repair mechanisms maintain faithful replication.
