Positions
Intracellular and intercellular mRNA trafficking
Study of intercellular mRNA transfer and its ability to complement genetic alterations in mammalian cells
Rotation positions are available for students interested in exploring the role of intercellular mRNA transfer and its ability to complement genetic alterations and potential use in RNA therapeutics. The work involves in vitro experimentation and the goal is to develop RNA transfer as a novel means to ameliorate human genetic disorders.
