This 👇is such a great opportunity for young scientists in the field. I “grew up” on this conference & still hold so many meaningful relationships to this day that I made at these conferences.
Great start to 2026! Another successful collaboration with @professorantony.bsky.social lab & final to piece to Dr. Jessica L. Norris's Chemistry PhD thesis with new additions by current Chemistry PhD graduate student Grace Young. Thanks to NIGMS for funding our groups.

🎉Kicking off 2026 with our first paper from the Freudenthal lab in NAR. Ribonucleotides reshape telomeric G4s and are resistant to RNase H2 repair. Congrats to the authors and huge thanks to our collaborator Hui-Ting Lee! academic.oup.com/nar/article/...
Happy to share our new work on the nuclease EXO1, published in Nature Communications. We show that EXO1 is overexpressed in cancers. This promotes nascent DNA degradation, even in BRCA-proficient cells, resulting in genomic instability and chemotherapy sensitization. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

DNA repair genes are generally considered tumor suppressors, as they maintain genomic stability. Here, the authors show that the exonuclease EXO1 is overexpressed in a significant proportion of tumors...
What does phosphorylation do to RPA?
This has been a long-standing question in the field of genome integrity.
In our newest publication in Nature Communications rdcu.be/eT4z3 with @proforiganti.bsky.social , we reveal the answer.
Thanks to funding from NIGMS to our groups.

Abstract. Human telomeres are composed of TTAGGG repeats that can fold into G-quadruplexes (G4s). G4s can form several different conformations, including p
Abstract. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases 1 and 2 (PARP1/PARP2), and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG), modulate the level of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), a p

RPA is an essential ssDNA binding protein. Here, authors uncover a phosphosite on RPA70 and show that the RPA70 and RPA32 subunits cooperate through a phosphocode to reconfigure RPA domains. This sugg...
