chromatin landscape at DSB Gaelle legube

Research Interests

Our research aim is to understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for the maintenance of genome integrity. Our lab particularly focuses on DNA double strand break repair in the context of chromatin. Oour research is performed at the MCD unit within the CBI in Toulouse, France.
