Kumar Somyajit

Kumar Somyajit is Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. He leads research on DNA replication and genome surveillance mechanisms using mammalian cell models.

Research focuses on:

• Metabolic regulation of DNA replication
• Replisome plasticity under stress
• Homology-directed repair mechanisms
• Chromatin dynamics in cancer

Recipient of Lundbeck Foundation Fellowship (2021). Current projects investigate metabolic coupling to genome surveillance in cancer and development. Supervises PhD students in DNA repair and replication studies.
