Biography

Murray Junop received B.Sc. from Ryerson University in 1991, and Ph.D. from Western University in 1997. In 1997, he joined the LMB/NIDDK, at the National Institutes of Health as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Wei Yang (National Academy of Science Member, 2013). Currently, he is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Structural Biology at Western University. He has received several awards for outstanding teaching at the Undergraduate Level. He has pioneered structural studies of mammalian DNA double strand break repair proteins involved in the non-homologous end-joining pathway, solving and characterizing structures and complexes of XRCC4, XLF and DNA LigaseIV. His current research interests are in understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern repair of several DNA lesions; in particular, DNA intrastrand-crosslinks and both single and double strand breaks. Additional work is focused on developing new anticancer agents that target DNA repair pathways. His research has been funded by federal agencies, including CIHR, CFI, CCS and NSERC
