Eric A Hendrickson

Eric A Hendrickson is a Professor in the Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics department at the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on DNA repair mechanisms, telomere biology, and genomic instability, with significant work on Fanconi anemia and cancer development.

• Key Research Areas: DNA Repair, Telomere Dynamics, CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing, Chromosomal Instability, Cancer Genetics, Non-homologous End Joining

Recent Publications highlight trends in:

• Role of POLθ in alternative DNA repair
• ATRX regulation of telomere crisis
• FANCD2-PCNA K164 ubiquitination interplay
• Kinome-wide analysis of DNA damage response
• RAD18 in hyper-recombination suppression

Grants & Collaborations: Recent projects include NIH-funded studies on telomere fusions in carcinogenesis, CRISPR-based repair mechanisms, and collaborations with institutions like Intellia Therapeutics. He leads research on premature aging syndromes and contributes to the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center.
