The Hunter lab performs world-leading research in reproductivebiology, focused on the process of meiosis. The lab synthesizesbiochemical, moleculargenetics and cell biology approaches, with yeast,mouse and cell/tissue/organ culture models, to understand how chromosomes are accurately distributed intogametes cells. Their major focus is the DNA-repair mechanism called homologous recombination, which is adapted during meiosis to facilitate chromosome pairing and segregation. They strive to understand the molecular mechanisms and regulation of recombination and the influence of genetics and the environment on this essential process, including gender, sexual maturation, aging and chemical contamination. More information about Dr. Hunter and the lab can be found at and .
The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct research to elucidate the mechanisms and regulation of homologous recombinationduring meiosis.
