The Ciccia laboratory investigates 1) the molecular mechanisms that maintain genome stability to suppress cancer development (Taglialatela A et al, Molecular Cell, 2021; Taglialatela A et al, Molecular Cell, 2017; Huang JW et al, Nature Communications, 2020); 2) the interplay between genome instability and anti-tumor immunity (Leuzzi G et al, Cell, 2024); 3) the function of nucleotide variants in DNA repair genes using innovative base editing screens (Cuella-Martin R et al, Cell, 2021); and develops 4) novel methods for precision genome editing (Billon P et al, Molecular Cell, 2017; Nambiar TS et al, Nature Communications, 2019; Billon P et al, Cell Reports, 2020; Nambiar TS et al, Molecular Cell, 2022).
