Biopolymers: Gaining an understanding of the function and structure of DNA and enzymes in order to explain their interactions and apply them to biotechnology

【Supercategory：4. Techtextiles Subcategory：4.10 Other industrial applications】

I examine the nature and structure of nucleic acids, which form DNA, and carcinogens and active oxygen, which damages DNA. My lab is also researching DNA repair enzymes that repair damaged DNA from a completely new perspective with the goal of clarifying how repair enzymes find damaged parts of the DNA and applying this knowledge to research into anti-carcinogenic drugs.
