Research Area:

Recent studies revealed that a large fraction of animal genome is transcribed, but only a very small number of these transcripts encode proteins. The functional roles and working mechanisms of the noncoding RNAs remain to be a mystery in biology. We are interested in the biological function of noncoding sequences including untranslated regions of mRNAs (UTRs), small noncoding RNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and their regulators such as RNA binding proteins, in the context of stem cell biology and cancer biology.
