Interrogating the RNA to find new cancer treatments

Our lab uses high-throughput sequencing data and experimental validations to find RNA variations involved in normal tissue development or in cancer.

transcriptomics Using variations in RNA splicing patterns, it is possible to discover molecular signals missed with other approaches. Over the years, transcriptomic analyses have provided key insight on questions encompassing the fields of autism spectrum disorders and cancer. For example:  

Vision

The lab officially launched in September 2023. Our research is driven by a combination of computional analyses to generate hypotheses and experimental work to describe biological functions. We believe that studying RNA splicing will uncover new therapeutic avenues for cancer. We also believe that the role of RNA-binding proteins is heavily underestimated in immune cell development and function.
