       Overview 
       Overview
      My laboratory is interested in small RNA-mediated transcriptional regulation of gene expression, especially transcriptional activation, a mechanism known as RNAa. Our current research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanism underlying RNAa, exploiting RNAa as a therapeutic for cancer and a tool for studying gene function and cell fate reprogramming.
