We study mRNA processing in different cell types in vivo and its role in human disease.
RNA processingLike a swiss army knife, a gene can generate multiple different mRNA isoforms to perform distinct functions. Importantly, human disease can be caused by mistakes in this process. Therefore, we are interested in understanding how RNA processing is regulated and the consequences from abnormal RNA processing in different biological contexts. We developed novel tools to study RNA processing and used them to find new examples of abnormal RNA processing in human disease. |
