The DNA repair group is part of the <a href="http://icb.usp.br/~bmm/">Department of Microbiology</a> and the
<a href="http://www.icb.usp.br/">Institute of Biomedical Sciences</a>, located in the
<a href="http://www.usp.br">University of São Paulo - USP</a>, Brazil.
We are a research group interested in the field of DNA damage, repair and their biological implications, such as
cell death and mutagenesis. DNA lesions are constantly introduced by environmental agents (i.e., pollution and
even sunlight), genotoxic chemical products, or also byproducts of cellular metabolism, contributing to cancer
formation and aging in human beings. To keep genetic information intact is essential to species survival, and
thus, DNA repair processes are highly relevant mechanisms, evolutionarily conserved in all living organisms, from
bacteria to human beings.
