Mechanism and biology of RNA silencing
The implementation of distinct gene expression profiles is essential for organismal development, physiological responses to external stimuli and pathogens, and defines a primary cause for disease. My group is fascinated by the molecular events that control these processes at the post-transcriptional level.
