The ITB 2026 Research Seminars program continues on Thursday, November 26, from 12:00 to 13:00 with a double seminar by Dr. Stéphane Koundrioukoff, who will give the talk "The concerted roles of ATR and FANC proteins in DNA replication compensation", and Dr. Aura Carreira, who will give the talk "BRCA2 variant functional analysis illuminates genome‑maintenance defects driving tumorigenesis".

Stéphane Koundrioukoff is a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and head of the DNA combing platform. He studies chromosome dynamics and his work focuses on analyzing DNA replication stress, characterizing chromosomal fragile sites, and the molecular mechanisms that cause genomic instability in cancer.

Aura Carreira is a principal investigator at the Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Center (CBMSO, CSIC-UAM). She leads the research group focused on homologous recombination and genome stability, and her work centers on the molecular mechanisms of DNA repair, the biological functions of the BRCA2 tumor suppressor, and the pathological pathways linked to the susceptibility and development of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

Like all the seminars that will be held throughout this year, in addition to being held in person at the ITB Seminar Room, they can be followed through the following Google Meet link.
