We're working to understand
how aneuploidy impacts cancer progression, in hopes of developing therapies that can specifically eliminate aneuploid cancers while leaving normal cells unharmed.
Heitman is currently looking for
aneuploidy in samples from the outbreak of Cryptococcus gattii in the western part of North America to see if it can explain
how this sister strain of Cryptococcus neoformans has come to infect otherwise healthy individuals.
How do meiocytes recognize if chromosome pairing fails, how do they correct such errors, and how defective meiocytes are eliminated, in order to avoid the formation of gametes with aneuploidy / abnormal genom
