Research

My research concerns nucleic acids as adaptive gene regulatory elements. These molecules are able to detect changes in the cellular environment, e.g. cancerous or infected, and act accordingly. I'm currently designing and testing RNA molecules to efficiently knock down genes in cancerous cells but not in normal cells.
