Gene expression is the fundamental process that uses the genomic information in order to synthesize gene products. We focus on understanding the general mechanisms and processes that regulate gene expression and thereby ensure faithful protein production. Specifically, we are interested how ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes influence various stages of the messenger RNA (mRNA) lifecycle. More detailed information about ongoing research projects in the lab can be found below.
