Research Focus
Dr. Teresa Davoli's lab focuses on understanding how DNA mutations occur in human cells and their role in diseases like cancer. The lab develops a novel system called MutSensor, which allows for precise measurement of mutation rates in mammalian cells. By identifying the genes that control these mutations, the research aims to uncover fundamental mechanisms of genome stability, contributing valuable insights for public health and disease prevention.
