Elaine Taylor

Dr. Elaine Taylor is a Senior Lecturer in Medical Sciences and the Director of Student Support at Lancaster Medical School. Her research focuses on genome integrity, DNA damage response, and post-translational modifications like ubiquitin and SUMO. She teaches modules such as MEDI101, MEDI106, BIOL386, and BIOL466, emphasizing genome instability and human health.

Research Interests

Her work explores:

• Ubiquitin/SUMO modification in genome maintenance
• DNA repair mechanisms and replication stress
• Chromosomal abnormalities in cancer and neurodegeneration
• Drug discovery for genome stability targets

Teaching

She leads PBL sessions and research projects in DNA damage response and cell cycle control.

Labs & Research Groups

Dr. Taylor's lab is affiliated with the Cancer Biology and Genome Stability and Experimental Medicine research groups at Lancaster Medical School. Current projects include analysis of ubiquitin/SUMO modifications in DNA damage and replication stress.
