Research
Supriya Prasanth’s laboratory is focused on understanding how replication initiation is coordinated with chromatin organization and cell cycle progression. Defects in accurate replication and faithful chromosome segregation cause genomic instability, a hallmark of all cancers. Using multi-disciplinary approaches, the Prasanth lab examines how replication initiation proteins Origin Recognition Complex and ORC-associated (ORCA/LRWD1) regulate diverse cellular processes. and its involvement in cancer progression.
