Current Research Lines

Studying the Function of TRIP13 in Meiotic Prophase We aim to dissect the multifaceted role of TRIP13, a conserved AAA+ ATPase critical cell cycle regulator. We and others have shown that it is involved in double-strand break (DSB) repair, chromosome axis formation, desynapsis, meiotic silencing of unsynapsed chromatin (MSUC), and the spindle assembly checkpoint (Roig […]

Mission

At the Roig Lab, we are committed to unraveling the complexities of reproductive biology, with a particular focus on the mechanisms governing meiosis, DNA repair, and the aging of reproductive cells. Through cutting-edge research in both mice and humans, we aim to uncover the molecular and genetic underpinnings of fertility, genome integrity, and the aging […]
