Why the MRC Genome Damage and Stability Centre?

• The MRC Genome Damage and Stability Centre

  Cellular DNA (encoding our genetic information) is continually subject to damage.
• To counteract the deleterious effects of genome damage, our cells have a variety of ways to repair and respond to DNA damage.
• These damage responses are essential for maintaining our genetic information.
• Instability of, or changes to, our genetic information result in hereditary diseases and cancer.
