The growing field of epigenetics holds the promise of future treatments for those facing cancer and rare diseases. Yet at the University, it’s not just the breakthrough potential of the field itself that’s exciting.

Scientists at the lab of Nobel Prize-winning scientist Aziz Sancar MD PhD have made the surprising discovery that a molecule called EdU, which is commonly used in laboratory experiments to label DNA, is in fact recognized by human cells as DNA damage, triggering a runaway process of DNA repair that is eventually fatal to affected cells, including cancer cells. This is worthy of further investigation, especially for brain cancers.
