Expertise

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: 

  1. How is microRNA production and function regulated during development?
  2. 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
