Richard Fishel's research focuses on DNA repair mechanisms, particularly how proteins like MSH and MutS/MutL detect and fix errors in DNA using single-molecule imaging and biophysical techniques. His lab also investigates colorectal cancer biology, including how immune signaling pathways (cGAS/STING) and certain drugs can enhance cancer immunotherapy responses. This work combines molecular biophysics with cancer genomics to understand both fundamental DNA repair processes and their relevance to cancer treatment.
