Collaborations

• Orlando Schärer / IBS / UNIST

We have a common interest in DNA cross-link repair.

• Kyungjae Myung / IBS / UNIST

We share an interest in cancer chemotherapeutic agents and DNA damage response mechanisms.

• Prof Semin Lee / UNIST / Ulsan

We collaborate on characterizing mutational signatures in mammalian cells.

• Prof Shunichi Takeda / University of Kyoto / Japan

We are immensely grateful to Prof Takeda for sharing TK6 cell lines and for hosting Dmitry Ivanov in Kyoto.

• Moritz Gerstung / European Bioinformatics Institute

We collaborate on C. elegans large-scale sequencing analysis.

• Dundee School of Life Sciences and Center for Gene Expression and Regulation, Before moving to Korea we collaborated with the groups of Julian Blow, Angus Lamond, Ronald Hay, and Karim Labib (MRC).

• Angus Lamond / University of Dundee

We collaborate on C. elegans starvation and proteomics.

• Anne Villeneuve / Stanford University, California, USA

We collaborate on basic mechanisms of meiotic recombination.

• Joel Meyer / Duke University, North Carlina, USA

We collaborate on mechanisms relating to C. elegans starvation.

• Ralf Schnabel / Technical University of Braunschweig / Germany

We interact with Ralf's group to uncover the role of rad-5 during embryogenesis. Ralf assembled our 4D microscope for C. elegans developmental lineaging and with his former student Nadin Member who will shortly join us, we will assess a mutant collection generated in Ralf's lab for germline apoptosis defects.

• John Rouse / MRC unit / CLS Dundee

We had our lab next to each other for a long time and share a common interest in DNA damage responses. We have common lab seminars and aim to exploit each other's experimental systems.

• David Lilley / CLS Dundee

We were collaborating on the biochemical characterization of animal Holliday Junction Resolvase enzymes.

• Peter Campbell / Sanger center, UK

We collaborate with Peter on C. elegans whole-genome mutant profiling of wild type and DNA repair defective worms.

• Verena Jantsch / Max Perutz laboratory, Vienna

Verena was our main collaborator on the role of LEM-3, SLX-1, XPF-1, and MUS-81 nucleases in meiotic recombination and genome stability.

• Bin Wang / National Engineering Research Center for Non-Food Biorefinery, Guangxi Academy of Sciences, 530007 Nanning, China. Bin worked as a Postdoc in Dundee and now heads his own group back in China. We are collaborating on meiotic recombination and new DNA repair genes.

• Taekyung Kim / Department of Biology Education Pusan National University

Taekyung is setting up a new C. elegans laboratory at Pusan University. We are collaborating on setting up high-resolution real-time imaging procedures.

• Ye Hong / Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of Animal Cell and Developmental Biology, School of Life Sciences, Shandong University, Qingdao, 266237, China. Ye worked as a Postdoc in Dundee and now heads his group in Qingdao, China.
