The primary interests of my group are the molecular signals which control the expression and function of RNA molecules, both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. In recent years we have been especially interested in noncoding RNA molecules, particularly ones that play important roles in development, cellular physiology and disease. We have discovered a new class of long noncoding RNAs that may underlie human Prader-Willi Syndrome and have recently developed a new deep sequencing methodology to identify and study RNA 2’-O methylation, which is important in ribosome maturation and function, and which may also have unexpected roles in mRNA translation and fate. Our work involves molecular biology and genomics approaches, including CRISPR and the study of embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. 

Not accepting students for Lab Rotations at this time

We study many aspects of RNA synthesis, processing and function. Of particular recent interest is the posttranscriptional modification of RNAs by either adenosine-to-inosine editing or 2’-O ribose methylation. We have developed novel biochemical and genomics tools to study these modifications and rotation projects will participate in this work and the discovery of RNA modifications that may play a role in development and disease.
