Researching the mechanisms that promote accurate chromosome segregation / Monica P. Colaiacovo, Ph.D. Professor of Genetics, HMS 00:00:00
We investigate the mechanisms underlying germline maintenance and accurate chromosome inheritance during meiosis. Addressing this is of vital importance in order to understand the sources of errors that result in infertility, miscarriages, birth defects such as Down syndrome, and tumorigenesis in humans. Our studies provide key insights into the molecular basis for the regulation of germline maintenance and meiotic chromosome segregation.
