Hugo Wurtele, Ph.D., leads the research unit on DNA Replication and Genome Stability at the University of Montreal's Department of Medicine. His research focuses on the mechanisms of DNA repair, which are crucial for understanding cancer development and improving treatment strategies, especially regarding the effectiveness of chemotherapy that induces DNA damage in cancer cells. Using human cells and the yeast model Saccharomyces cerevisiae, his team employs techniques such as fluorescence microscopy, biochemistry, and genetics to investigate how cancer cells respond to anti-cancer drugs that cause DNA damage. Their work aims to identify molecular markers that categorize tumors more accurately and help define appropriate treatments tailored for individual patients.
