My research explores how cells, and in particular yeast cells, maintain the integrity of their genomes, how genes interact, and how these interactions can be harnessed to understand biology and improve medicine.
This section brings together explanations of key concepts that guide my research. You’ll find pages on tools such as the Saccharomyces genome variation (SGV), which explores how diversity loss of any single gene within a cell shapes its evolution, and synthetic viability, a phenomenon where one mutation unexpectedly rescues another. These ideas not only deepen our understanding of biology but also open doors to practical applications, such as identifying how drugs work and how cells develop resistance.
From fundamental genetic principles to practical applications in drug discovery, this section collects resources and explanations of the scientific ideas that guide our work.
👉 Explore the subpages to learn more:
- Synthetic viability or how one mutation can rescue the harmful effects of another, revealing hidden backup systems in cells.
- SGV A tool to explore how a gene knockout reshapes the rest of the genome.
- New pages will appear here as we expand our science communication resources.
