Lab Members
Garima Chaturvedi, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar
Dr. Chaturvedi was trained at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, under the mentorship of Dr. Ofir Hakim and obtained her Ph.D. degree in 2025. She determined the transcriptional response to Ionizing radiation and glucocorticoids using genome-wide ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and chromosome conformation capture methods.
Garima’s research in the Frock Lab focuses on failed homologous recombination mechanisms and alternative end joining.

Paul Barghouth, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar
Current position: Scientist at Nucleix
Dr. Barghouth received his doctorate degree in Quantitative and Systems Biology in 2019 under the mentorship of Dr. Nestor Oviedo at UC Merced. He focused on pre-cancerous lesions (e.g. DNA damage and epigenetics) that give rise to cancer cell transformation.
Paul’s research in the Frock Lab focuses on understanding the role of DNA damage under novel ultra-high dose-rate FLASH radiotherapy. Furthermore, he is interested in understanding the role of hypoxia on DNA damage and repair choice.
Marie Le Bouteiller, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar
Dr. Le Bouteiller received her Ph.D. at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France in 2012. Her work focused on the interplay between ribosome biogenesis and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance in mice, under the supervision of Dr. Michel Cohen-Tannoudji. Then she moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, and worked in Dr. Kim Jensen’s lab on the role of intestinal stem cells in tumorigenesis.
Marie’s research focus in the Frock Lab involves elucidating DNA end-joining pathway mechanisms and developing novel bioinformatic pipelines to measure DSB repair fates in G1-phase progenitor B cells.
