Project Details
- Project Title: Investigating the role of Arid1a in chromatin organization: Potential translation to cancer therapy
- Principal Investigator: Dr. Sriram Sridharan
Research Description
The project focuses on understanding the role of Arid1a in chromatin organization and its potential implications for cancer therapy. Genome instability is recognized as an enabling hallmark of cancer and contributes to the activation of multiple cancer-associated pathways. The study aims to investigate the interplay between chromatin organization, DNA damage, and genome stability by examining the molecular mechanisms regulated by Arid1a.
The research will utilize genetics, biological approaches, single-molecule techniques, and genomics to understand how Arid1a regulates higher-order genome organization and DNA damage response. The findings are expected to broaden the understanding of genome integrity, carcinogenesis, and therapeutic resistance.
