    I am interested in understanding what RNA can tell us about how cells work and what happens during disease. Many RNAs are transcribed and not translated into protein but rather regulate protein production. Recently circRNAs were shown to regulate cell division during development and cancer via interactions with microRNAs, transcription factors and RNA binding proteins. As a PhD student at the University of Nevada in Reno I helped identify new circRNAs in the nematode C. elegans that accumulate throughout its lifespan. During my postdoc at UCSF I hopes to identify a circRNA signature for specific oncogenes such as Myc then dissect the pathways necessary for circRNA-dependent oncogenesis.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
