I received my PhD for work on how rare mutations in pancreatic trypsin inhibitor contribute to chronic pancreatic inflammation. In the [1], my current work is aimed at homologous recombination in the pancreas in vivo.
While mitotic homologous recombination is an important DNA repair/tolerance mechanism, it can result in sequence rearrangements that can contribute to cancer. I am investigating the effects of DNA damaging chemicals, radiation, cell proliferation and DNA repair on homologous recombination in the pancreas.
The next question in my project is whether homologous recombination is induced by inflammation, which is a major risk factor for cancer.
