MENDING LIFE:
WHY AND HOW CELLS PROTECT THEIR DNA

Essays on Genome Stability, Disease, Aging and Therapy

Mending Life: Why and How Cells Protect their DNA, is a series about DNA repair – the science behind hunting down and fixing genetic damage, and why this is vital for so many aspects of human health.  Each week a new short essay will be posted to my Substack and this website. 

Hint: hover your pointer over the Mending Life on the navigation list to the left to see all the posted essays.

Topics will cover DNA repair control of inflammation, protection of cell identity and stopping cancer, guardrails for aging and longevity, how DNA repair determines cancer treatment choices, a finally a discussion of DNA repair in genome editing.  The scope of this series demonstrates that DNA repair is at the nexus of many of the latest, intersecting sciences in human health, longevity, consumer demands, and gene engineering technologies that will shape our future.
