Area(s) of Specialization: Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, RNA biology, microRNA biogenesis and function
Research:
- microRNA strand selection
- Modulation of microRNA function by miRISC co-factors
Our laboratory works on understanding how genes are regulated by tiny RNA molecules called microRNAs.
Our laboratory works on understanding how a class of small noncoding RNAs called microRNAs regulates gene expression.
Our lab is interested in two questions:
- How is microRNA production and function regulated during development?
- How is a single microRNA strand selected from the precursor duplex in vivo and how might this process of strand selection be regulated?
Research: Biology – Studies how genes are regulated and how the changes in gene regulation that lead to cancer can occur
Subject areas: Genetics, Developmental and Cell Biology
