Scientific summary
Area of research: Cellular functions of DNA topoisomerases in transcription with emphasis on their role in gene activation and their interplay with chromatin regulating factors. Cellular functions of topoisomerases and RecQ helicases in replication with focus on replication termination. Studies of topoisomerases as targets for cancer chemotherapy with focus on the identification of repair factors counteracting efficient treatment.
Publications: The total publication list contains 54 publications, including 45 scientific papers, 3 reviews and 6 book chapters. Of the 45 papers 30 are published in journals with an impact factor of around 6 and above and 13 in journals with an impact factor between 4 and 6.
