Eli Rothenberg is a Professor and the Director of Single Molecule Biophotonics at New York University. His research program is dedicated to understanding how cells maintain genome integrity and how dysfunctions in these processes contribute to cancer. Rothenberg employs specialized single-molecule microscopy techniques and innovative assays to investigate the molecular mechanisms at play. His multidisciplinary approach uses methods from single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, computational tools, and advanced biochemistry to shed light on DNA damage response and replication pathways in cancer cells. His work is critical in controlling tumor growth and therapeutic outcomes, particularly in relation to the role of non-canonical DNA structures and mutations in DNA replication and repair genes, such as BRCA. Rothenberg's research advances pharmacological studies and provides insights into the mechanisms of emerging cancer drugs and the response of cancer cells to chemotherapies and radiation treatments. Additionally, he is focused on developing new biomarkers for targeted therapies.
Open Program in Biomedical Sciences (Vilcek Institute) covers departments like Biochemistry, Pathology, Neuroscience, Microbiology, etc.
