Regulation of RNA metabolism in health and disease
Our research focuses on understanding the mechanisms governing gene regulation in humans in health and disease conditions. We are investigating the molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases, arising due to mutations in proteins, involved in transcription and RNA processing. To elucidate pathways, regulating RNA metabolism, we exploit gene-specific and whole-genome approaches.
