We have two clinicians getting basic DNA repair research experience in our lab at the moment. Michael Auster is a 2nd year resident in Internal Medicine here at UTHSCSA. Michael is interested in hematology/oncology and worked in wound healing/vascular surgery before joining us.

Eva Galvan is a Radiation Oncology resident who is using her elective months to study mechanisms of recombination in our lab. Fun fact - Eva went to Yale as an undergrad and took Patrick's Principles of Biochemistry course back in 2009!

Excited to announce that Arijit Dutta has received a Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (formerly SALSI) at UT Health San Antonio. Arijit is working on the role of BRCA pathway in resolution of R-loops at DNA breaks. Congratulations, @DuttaArijit06!!
