Research

Research Focus: Chemotherapy

The McKeague lab is interested in defining the basis of chemotherapy resistance/sensitivity and to exploit these findings for patient stratification and the development of novel therapeutics. The lab employs a genomic chemistry approach that combines: (1) sequencing DNA damage distribution in the cancer genome; (2) characterizing DNA damage dynamics with real-time fluorescence monitoring; and (3) identifying novel DNA-based repair inhibitors.
