Research Interest
Regulatory RNAs are important mediators of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. At the center of our research are brain cytoplasmic RNAs (BC RNAs), a subtype of regulatory RNA that controls neuronal gene expression at the level of translation. BC RNAs are targeted to synapses where they regulate the synthesis of local proteins. The mechanism is important for long-term structural and functional modulations of synaptic connections, and thus for the control of neuronal excitability and plasticity.
