Center for RNA Molecular Biology

Focusing on understanding the function of systems involving ribonucleic acids (RNA) at the molecular level

The Center focuses on understanding how RNA is involved in key biological processes such as transcription, translation, and splicing.

Members of the Center come together from diverse departments including Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB), Biology, Chemistry, and Chemical Engineering.

We share ideas and our unique perspectives in an effort to promote interdisciplinary research and training of students and postdocs through regular research presentations by students, postdocs, and faculty.
