Research Interest:
The goal of research in my lab has been to study interactions between cellular proteins and conserved 'G'-rich sequences (GRS) that can influence human gene expression. Our recent investigations utlilize computational approaches and focus on Quadruplex forming GRS. The QGRS seems to be involved in differential RNA processing and plays an important role in post-transcriptional gene regulation in oncogenes.
