Thesis supervisor: Lajos Haracska
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Institute of Genetics, Biological Research Centre
Abbreviation of location of studies: SzBK


Description of the research topic:

DNA-repair pathways and genes are known to be essential for the maintenance of genome stability. Damage to the functioning of these genes, e.g., due to mutation-induced inactivation, may lead to genome instability and cancer. We have begun the identification and characterization of new small-molecule modulators of DNA repair. Our approach involves chemical biology, and we perform high-throughput screens utilizing the state-of-the-art Alpha assay technology.

Required language skills: English
Further requirements: 
A grade average above 4.0, participation at TDK or other competititons, lab experience.

Number of students who can be accepted: 3

Deadline for application: 2020-12-31
