==Research interests==
<!-- Feel free to add brief descriptions to your research interests as well -->
I am interested in post-transcriptional regulatory networks, particularly the regulation of mRNA translation, localization and stability by RNA-binding proteins and non-coding RNAs ("mRNP code"). In our lab we are studying the dynamics of mRNPs in yeast and human cell, and we hope that our work will contribute to the deciphering of the "mRNP code".
 
==Current position==
I am a grad student in the [http://gerber.openwetware.org/ Gerber Lab] at the ETH Zurich, working on post-transcriptional gene regulation. I was recruited through the [http://www.lifescience-graduateschool.ch/index.php?id=17 Molecular Life Sciences] program of the [http://www.lifescience-graduateschool.ch/ Life Science Zurich Graduate School].<br/><br/>
Tentative title of the project: ''[[Gerber:Projects|"Systematic Analysis of the Crosstalk between Regulatory RNA-Binding Proteins and the MicroRNA Machinery"]]''.<br/><br/>
I am an initiator of the [http://rnaclubzurich.openwetware.org/ RNA Club Zurich] and maintain both the [[Rnaclubzurich|RNA Club]] and [[Gerber|Gerber Lab]] homepages.
