'''Chemical Modulation of the FA/BRCA Pathway.''' We designed a rapid,
inexpensive and sensitive cell-free assay to screen for small

to identify potential therapeutic targets and to dissect the activity
of the FA proteins within the network of proteins that guard genomic
stability.

Biochemical analysis of FA protein complexes. We are using biochemical assays in Xenopus cell–free extracts together with assays in human cells to identify functionally important proteins and protein complexes in the FA network.

The role of the FA proteins at early stages of hematopoiesis. We identified a novel transcriptional repressor (FAZF, for Fanconi Anemia Zinc Finger) that binds to FANCC, one of the Fanconi proteins. We are interested in the functional consequences of this interaction in normal and dysregulated hematopoiesis.

We use proteins from frog eggs to understand the basics about how the Fanconi proteins are involved in DNA replication and repair.
