The successful candidate will conduct a NIH-funded project focused on meiotic roles of the BRCA2 protein. The Hunter lab performs world-leading research in reproductive biology, focused on the process of meiosis. The lab synthesizes cell biology, molecular genetics, and biochemical approaches with mouse, yeast, and cell/tissue/organ culture models to understand how chromosomes are accurately distributed into gametes cells. A major focus is the DNA-repair mechanism called homologous recombination, which is adapted during meiosis to facilitate chromosome pairing and segregation. They strive to understand the molecular mechanisms and regulation of recombination and the influence of genetics and the environment on this essential process, including gender, sexual maturation, aging and chemical contamination.
