Research summary

Ruben C. Petreaca studies how cells detect and repair damaged DNA, using the yeast species Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model organism alongside analyses of human cancer genome data. His work spans laboratory genetics of DNA double-strand break repair and chromatin-associated proteins (such as KAT5) as well as computational studies of mutation patterns, gene expression, and copy number changes across human cancers. This combination suggests a research approach that bridges basic molecular biology experiments with cancer genomics data analysis.
