Investigating the role of a novel RNA binding protein in telomerase activity

We have identified a role for a novel RNA binding protein in telomerase biogenesis and recruitment to telomeres. We aim to investigate how this protein functions in this context usi more...

Investigating the links between telomerase and the DNA damage response in cancer cells

The ribonucleoprotein enzyme telomerase counteracts telomere shortening in a majority of cancers, allowing for unlimited cell division. Most normal cells do not express telomerase, more...
