DNA repair and mutagenesis - The Ambrose Group

We are interested in the regulation of error-prone DNA polymerases in bacteria, yeast, and humans.

In particular, we use conventional mutation detection assays along with whole genome and proteome interrogation methodologies to investigate how overall cellular physiology impacts upon the generation of mutations in bacterial, yeast, and human cells.
