Laboratory of DNA Replication and Genome Stability

Our laboratory seeks to identify mechanisms and factors that ensure efficient and highly accurate DNA replication and influence genetic stability. (…)

Damian Graczyk, PhD

Laboratory of RNA Metabolism in Immune Responses

RNA polymerase (Pol) III synthesizes several small noncoding RNAs, including transfer RNA (tRNA). We are interested in studying mechanisms of Pol III regulation during innate immune responses in both immune and (…)

Jacek Hennig, PhD, DSc, Prof.

Laboratory of Plant Pathogenesis

The long-term goal of our studies is to unravel disease-resistance signaling pathways in the Solanaceae family. Interactions between potato and its pathogen potato virus Y (PVY) are the principal, although (…)
