Alba Guarné is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at McGill University. She has a PhD from the University of Barcelona, earned in 1999. Her research focuses on understanding proteins that determine the fate of DNA during chromosome replication and repair. In particular, she investigates regulatory proteins that orchestrate the stabilization of damaged replication forks and the mechanisms by which DNA repair processes are restarted. Her work emphasizes proteins that regulate cellular processes but lack measurable enzymatic activity. To achieve her research goals, she employs a broad range of structural biology techniques, which she combines with biochemical and genetic analyses to elucidate functions at the molecular level. This multidisciplinary approach aims to contribute significantly to the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology.
