Dr. Roger Greenberg, MD/PhD

Roger Greenberg, MD, PhD, is the J. Samuel Staub, M.D. Professor of Cancer Biology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, where he serves as Director of the Penn Center for Genome Integrity, and Basic Science Director for the Basser Center for BRCA. His laboratory investigates fundamental mechanisms of genome integrity maintenance and their impact on cancer etiology and therapeutic response. His group discovered that ubiquitin recognition is critical for BRCA1 DNA repair function, BRCA1 mutations as a cause of Fanconi Anemia, ALC1 as a new drug target in BRCA mutant cancers, and mechanisms responsible for DNA damage dependent immune responses. His group also developed real time analyses for DNA double-strand break silencing of transcription, and systems to investigate homology directed repair mediated telomere lengthening.
